    The recent local elections in Poland have offered a vivid snapshot of the country's political landscape, with a mix of decisive victories, closely contested races leading to second rounds, and cities awaiting official confirmation of election outcomes. Yet, no candidate from the major opposition party, the Law and Justice, managed to win a mayoral seat in any of the largest Polish cities in the first round.

    Mayors elected in the first round

    In several cities, incumbent mayors decisively won the elections in the first round, illustrating firm support for the following candidates:

    Warsaw: Rafał Trzaskowski (Civic Coalition) - 57.41%
    Bydgoszcz: Rafał Bruski (Civic Coalition) - 53.50%
    Lublin: Krzysztof Żuk (Civic Coalition) - 57.49%
    Opole: Arkadiusz Wiśniewski (nonpartisan, backed by the Civic Coalition) - 75.47%
    Białystok: Tadeusz Truskolaski (nonpartisan, backed by the Civic Coalition) - 53.32%
    Katowice: Marcin Krupa (nonpartisan, backed by the Civic Coalition) - 62.43%
    Szczecin: Piotr Krzystek (nonpartisan, backed by the Civic Coalition) - 60.43%
    Łódź: Hanna Zdanowska (Civic Coalition) - 59,30% Gdańsk: Aleksandra Dulkiewicz (nonpartisan, backed by the Civic Coalition) - 57,95%.

    Cities heading to the second round

    In some cities, no candidate achieved a majority in the first round, setting the stage for a second round of voting.

    Wrocław: incumbent mayor Jacek Sutryk (34.33%), nonpartisan, backed by the Civic Coalition and the New Left vs. Izabela Anna Bodnar (29.80%), Poland 2050
    Toruń: Paweł Dominik Gulewski (38.28%), Civic Coalition vs. incumbent mayor Michał Franciszek Zaleski (26.41%), independent
    Zielona Góra: Marcin Bogusław Pabierowski (42.74%), Civic Coalition vs. incumbent mayor Janusz Kubicki (35.95%), independent
    Gorzów Wielkopolski: incumbent mayor Jacek Piotr Wójcicki (49.24%), independent vs. Piotr Krzysztof Wilczewski (22.18%), Civic Coalition
    Kraków: Aleksander Jan Miszalski (37.21%) Civic Coalition vs. Łukasz Gibała (26.79%), independent
    Rzeszów: incumbent mayor Konrad Rafał Fijołek (37.91%), nonpartisan, backed by the Civic Coalition vs. Waldemar Włodzimierz Szumny (24.23%), Law and Justice
    Olsztyn: Robert Jan Szewczyk (32.81%), Civic Coalition vs. Czesław Jerzy Małkowski (21.16%), independent
    Poznań: incumbent mayor Jacek Jaśkowiak (43.74%), Civic Coalition vs. Zbigniew Czerwiński (20.30%), Law and Justice
    Kielce: Agata Ewa Wojda (33.63%), Civic Coalition vs. Marcin Stępniewski (25.05%), Law and Justice

    In Warsaw, the National Electoral Commission has yet to relay the official results; however, exit polls suggest that incumbent mayor Rafał Trzaskowski from Civic Coalition is expected to have secured 59.8% of the votes.
