WARSAW, May 19 (AFP): Pro-EU Warsaw mayor Rafal Trzaskowski scored a narrow win in round one of Poland's presidential election but faces an uphill struggle after right-wing and far-right candidates won a majority of votes, analysts said on Monday.
Trzaskowski, who is backed by the governing centrists, will face nationalist historian Karol Nawrocki in the June 1 run-off vote.
An overall victory for Trzaskowski as head of state would be a boost for the centrist government led by former European Union leader Donald Tusk, which has been at loggerheads with the current nationalist president.
