Donald Tusk’s premiership is reeling from a presidential election debacle that’s left the Polish leader diminished in the face of a resurgent nationalist opposition.The defeat of Tusk’s ally — who topped polls until weeks before the June 1 contest for the presidency — has sparked calls from some ruling coalition lawmakers for the prime minister to step aside.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called for a confidence vote later this month in an attempt to reaffirm his centrist coalition's power in parliament.

The result of Sunday's presidential runoff leaves the Polish premier politically weakened, and there are questions about whether his multi-party coalition can survive to the end of its term in late 2027.
