Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s party has selected Warsaw’s liberal mayor as its candidate for Poland’s presidential elections, which will take place in May. Rafał Trzaskowski was nominated on Saturday after comfortably beating foreign minister Radosław Sikorski in primaries held by Tusk’s ruling Civic Coalition party.

Poland’s ruling party chose Warsaw’s mayor as its candidate in next year’s presidential election, as Prime Minister Donald Tusk seeks an ally to help deliver on his legislative agenda.
