Bronisław Komorowski Independent Andrzej Duda PiS Presidential elections were held in Poland on 10 and 24 May 2015.

In the first round of voting Law and Justice (PiS) candidate, lawyer and Member of the European Parliament, Andrzej Duda received the greatest number of votes with a share of 34.76%, followed by incumbent president Bronisław Komorowski (with 33.77%), who ran as an independent with the endorsement of the Civic Platform (PO),[1] which he had renounced his membership in after winning the 2010 elections.

[24] Komorowski was generally regarded by the Polish press and political analysts to have won the first of the second-round debates.

[32] Duda took a narrow first-place finish over Komorowski in the first round of the election on 10 May 2015, forcing the incumbent into a runoff.

The result was described as a surprise, as the Komorowski camp and many political observers expected him to perform better or perhaps win outright.

[29][31][33][34] Paweł Kukiz, who finished third in the first round of voting, declined to endorse either Duda or Komorowski, instead offering to moderate a debate between the two candidates.
