Poland's opposition law and justice party has chosen historian Karol Nowroczki as its
00:07
candidate for next year's presidential election.
00:10
Forty-one-year-old Nowroczki has led the Institute of National Remembrance since 2021, a state
00:16
body that houses archives and researches the crimes of World War II and the communist era.
00:22
I'm ready to become your president, I'm ready because I've been with you all my life, he
00:27
told supporters at a rally in Krakow.
00:30
The party bypassed seasoned politicians, including former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, to
00:35
tap the lesser-known Nowroczki to run for the highest office.
00:39
The announcement came a day after the governing party, the Civic Coalition of Prime Minister
00:43
Donald Tusk, announced that it was fielding progressive Warsaw mayor Rafał Trzaskowski
00:48
as its candidate.
00:50
The constitutional calendar dictates that the first round of the presidential election
00:54
be held on a Sunday in May next year, though the date hasn't been set yet.
00:59
If no candidate receives at least 50 percent of the vote in the first round, a runoff will
01:04
be held two weeks later.
