Rafal Trzaskowski, the mayor of Warsaw on Tuesday said he had gathered 1.6 million signatures supporting his candidacy in the forthcoming presidential election scheduled for June 28.
A minimum of 100,000 signatures are required before the election commission will accept a person’s candidacy.
“The more stones are placed in our path, the stronger we will become, the mayor said.
Trzaskowski has quickly become a strong challenger to the incumbent Andrzej Duda in presidential elections that were postponed due to the outbreak of coronavirus.
A candidate from centrist party Civic Platform (PO), Trzaskowski replaced Malgorzata Kidawa-Blonska, who polled low single digits having called for boycotting a purely postal vote election that the governing Law and Justice Party (PiS) had been pushing for.(dpa/NAN)
