Poland's two presidential candidates held their last election campaigns on Friday ahead of a runoff on Sunday.

It will follow a first round on May 18, in which Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski won more than 31% of the vote and Karol Nawrocki, a conservative historian, earned nearly 30%.

Eleven other candidates were eliminated.

In Gdansk, Trzaskowski evoked the legacy of the Solidarity movement, born in the Baltic city’s shipyards.

“We all remember the shipyard workers who said, ‘enough fear, enough lies, enough contempt.’ Today, once again, we must stand together,” Trzaskowski said.

He appealed directly to voters’ sense of agency.

"For you, it will be just a few steps to the polling station, but together we can make a milestone towards realizing our dreams and aspirations, towards a future — a safe future — that everyone will be able to realize.”

Nawrocki, meanwhile, delivered a populist message in his closing address.

“I am simply one of you,” he told supporters inBiala Podlaska.

“A citizen of the Polish state who has come a long way to compete with a man created by a political laboratory.”

Nawrocki said his opponent was "building Poland for developers, bankers, and European elites. We will not allow the Poland we love to be taken from us.”

Criticizing EU environmental and education policies, he added, “We want freedom, not more enslavement.”

Under Polish law, all campaigning and political advertising must cease at midnight, with no public comment allowed until polls close on Sunday evening.
