A campaign poster bearing a portrait of President Duda is displayed on a fence in Godziszow, a bedrock of his conservative administration. GODZISZOW, Poland: A farmer and father of five, Grzegorz Myszak is crystal clear about his reasons for backing Poland's right-wing President Andrzej Duda on Sunday in a knife-edge run-off against liberal Warsaw mayor Rafal Trzaskowski.

Myszak says he is worried that a Trzaskowski victory would bring a"rocky cohabitation" with the PiS government and possible legislative paralysis. In the rolling hills of Lublin province, many hold similar views in Myszak's home village of Godziszow, where Duda scored his best result nationwide in the first round of the election with a score of 86 per cent.Surveys show Duda and Trzaskowski, who are both 48, running neck-and-neck ahead of Sunday's vote.

"The PiS understood this, while other parties still often see us as backward and ignorant," she said. That has been particularly the case at a time of heightened uncertainty as the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic sends Poland into its first recession since communism fell three decades ago.
