Poles began voting in a presidential election Sunday that had been scheduled for May but was delayed by the coronavirus pandemic, a ballot taking place amid deep cultural and political divisions in the European Union nation. Whether Duda wins or not will determine whether the ruling party keeps its near-monopoly on political power in Poland. Andrzej Duda, the president of Poland backed by the governing right-wing Law and Justice party, delivers a speech for locals and supporters during a campaign rally before Sunday's presidential elections, on June 25, in Radom, Poland. Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski, a candidate for the presidency, greets the public in Poznan, Poland on May 30. Trzaskowski entered the race late after an election originally scheduled for May 10 was scrapped due to the pandemic.
