Friday is the final day of campaigning in the presidential election in Poland before polling day on Sunday - and candidates Bronislaw Komorowski and Jaroslaw Kaczynski are packing in appearances before ‘pre-election silence’ descends at midnight.
The Komorowski team, organised by Civic Platform, calculate their candidate has travelled a total of 20,000 kilometres and visited 100 cities, towns and villages during the campaign.
Today, Bronislaw Komorowski will be in the provinces of Pomerania in the north, Warmia and Mazury in the northeast, Łódź in central Poland and Swietokrzyskie in the south.
In Lowicz, near Łódź, Komorowski will meet with former leader of the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD)Wojciech Olejniczak (SLD) after he publicly supported the Civic Platform candidate, even though his party is officially neutral in the second round run off.
Jaroslaw Kaczynski (Law and Justice) will end his day with a rally of supporters in Warsaw.
Earlier in the day he will be in Górno, Swietokrzyskie province, after receiving 61 percent to Komorowski’s 17 percent in the first round of elections on June 20.
From midnight, candidates are forbid to campaign and media reporting is restricted during ‘pre-election silence’, which is meant to give voters 24 hours contemplation on their choice before polling stations open, Sunday morning.
