June 2, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> A total of 108 Belarus-based Poles cast their votes in the Polish presidential run-off election at the Polish consulate in Minsk yesterday, with 52.8 percent backing Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski of the ruling centrist Civic Coalition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His opponent, right-wing politician Karol Nawrocki, who won the presidency, scored 47.2 percent at a polling station in Minsk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trzaskowski also had more support from Belarus-based Poles in the first round, when 30.3 percent backed him on May 18 as opposed to 29.7 percent who picked Nawrocki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polish conservative and eurosceptic Nawrocki won with 50.89 percent of the vote, and his liberal opponent Trzaskowski gained 49.11 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He will succeed conservative Andrzej Duda and serve for five years, controlling defense and foreign policy, with the right to veto legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
