Poles to vote for president in May, close to disputed WWII anniversary observances

FILE - In this file photo taken Feb. 7, 2013, Poland’s first trans-gender lawmaker Anna Grodzka walks in the house of parliament in Warsaw, Poland. She is predominantly Catholic Poland’s first ever sex-change person to be entering a presidential racer in the May 10 elections. To become a full candidate, she needs to gather written support from 100,000 backers. She has already had a huge impact on the political scene, becoming perhaps the most prominent symbol of liberal change in the traditionally conservative country. .

Poland will hold presidential elections on May 10, 2915 around the time of planned World War II remembrance observances that have aggravated a historic dispute between Poland and Russia. The campaign is also expected to raise emotions, because Poland’s first ever trans-gender candidate, lawmaker Anna Grodzka, and a former TV presenter with little political experience, Magdalena Ogorek, have said they will be running for a five-year term against incumbent Bronislaw Komorowski, who leads opinion polls.
