ABSTRACT
The early presidential election in Poland in 2010 was held in the shadow of the
catastrophe in Smolensk and two waves of flooding in Poland in the months
preceding the election. Undoubtedly, they had a significant influence on the
election campaign, which, was a very short one. The campaign was run in
a peaceful atmosphere without any fireworks or dirty campaigning. Similar to 2005,
the competition was contested between the two right-wing candidates: Jarosław
Kaczyński (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość) and Bronisław Komorowski (Platforma
Obywatelska).
