When questioned about the left’s choice to back a rival in Warsaw challenging Rafał Trzaskowski, Gawkowski confirmed Magdalena Biejat of the Razem party as the left-leaning candidate for the capital. The decision reflects ongoing efforts to consolidate support in major urban centers and present a coherent alternative to the ruling coalition in Poland’s largest city. (Source: wPolityce)
