Poland’s 2025 Presidential Race: A Referendum on the Government

V/I event highlights economic struggles, health security and the battle for voter trust

3 December 2024

Poland’s 2025 presidential election will be a defining moment for the country’s political future, with high stakes for Prime Minister Tusk’s government and the balance of power between progressive and nationalist forces.

Poland’s 2025 presidential election is shaping up to be a pivotal referendum on Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s Civic Coalition (KO) government. With six months to go, the race will test whether the administration can maintain public trust amid rising concerns over inflation, public services and national security.

The stakes are high: President Andrzej Duda, aligned with the opposition Law and Justice (PiS) Party, has frequently blocked KO’s legislative agenda, vetoing key initiatives and withholding approval for ambassadorial appointments. If PiS maintains influence over the presidency, it could further obstruct Tusk’s government, leaving the administration paralysed through to 2027.
