Today, presidential elections are held in Poland, no woman among 11 candidates

Poland's current president, Andreze Duda, is fighting for the second term in the post during Sunday's presidential election.

Although he is one of the favourite candidates, he is not expected to have a winner in the first round, where more than 50 percent of votes would be needed.

These choices are also being assessed as a test for European populist leaders. Last weekend, Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq strengthened his position in power through parliamentary elections that were boycotted by the opposition, writes “AP”, Report Express.

In Sunday's presidential elections, 11 candidates are participating, among whom there is no woman. If none of the candidates get more than 50 per cent of the vote in the first round, the two most voted candidates will face a run-off on 12 July.

“polonia has changed. She has changed for good”, Duda said during a rally Friday, promising she will continue to work to ensure that the Polish achieve living standards as in Western Europe.

He and the party that range him, “Law and Justice”, are in power by 2015. Power in Poland has sparked tensions with the European Union and repeated domestic protests due to controversial laws giving the ruling party control over higher courts and key bodies of the justice system.

The European Union has condemned these laws and described them as violating the standards of democracy. The U.S.-based Group “Freedom House” has shifted Poland from the list of democracy-consolidated countries to the group of countries with partially consolidated democracy.
