Krakow residents will head to the polls in one month to elect a new city president. Political scientist Dr. Hab. Maciej Zakrzewski states the election campaign is gaining momentum. He anticipates a runoff election will be necessary to determine the winner. This prediction stems from a large field of candidates vying for the position. The competitive landscape makes a clear majority in the first round unlikely. Experts suggest the numerous contenders will divide the vote, pushing the decision to a second round. The election is shaping up to be a closely watched event for the city’s future leadership.
