Polish presidential elections on May 10

The 2015 Polish presidential elections will be held on May 10, Radosław Sikorski, marshal of the Sejm, informed. In the case when none of the candidates receive more than half of the votes, the second round of voting will be held two weeks later, on May 24, he added. “Three months of the electoral campaign are still ahead. I wish for all of us that it will be held in the spirit of mutual respect and filled with debates on Poland,” Sikorski stated. He also said that he had chosen the date by himself and it was his sovereign decision. The opposition, however, suggests that the election date favors Bronisław Komorowski as he will host ceremonies marking Constitution Day on May 3, which supposedly will give a boost to his popularity.
