Polls show runoff vote for presidency close

Voters in Poland on Sunday will decide a tight runoff election between populist incumbent President Andrzej Duda and his liberal pro-European Union challenger, Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski.

Recent opinion polls show a race so close that it could hinge on a narrow margin of voters, which added urgency to the final days of campaigning in the central EU nation of 38 million people.

If Duda is re-elected, he and the rightwing Law and Justice party that backs him will maintain a hold on almost all key instruments of power in the country, possibly until 2023.
