Independent takes first round in Kraków mayoral race
Original: Independent wins Kraków election first round ahead of Tusk-backed candidate
An independent candidate won the first round of the Kraków mayoral election, finishing ahead of the candidate backed by Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The result is a setback for Tusk's governing coalition in a major city and forces a second-round runoff. Commenters are weighing what it means for the government's standing ahead of future national votes.
Why now: A Tusk-backed candidate losing the first round in Poland's second city is an early test of the government's popularity.
