Nawrocki, a registered independent, finished second with 29.54%. However, because no candidate received over 50% of the vote in that round, both advanced to Sunday&rsquo;s runoff election. Initial exit polls from the election had Trzaskowski leading, reported the <em>Associated Press<\/em>. Nawrocki jumped ahead in later polls and would hold on for the victory by the end of the day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Poland&rsquo;s constitution stipulates that presidents serve a five-year term and can only win reelection once.
