After today's [local elections in Kraków](https://steemit.com/krakow/@newforyou/local-presidential-elections-in-krakow-today) the unofficial results are in. The outcome is more or less as expected, with a slightly higher percentage for the top two candidates than in the polls. That means there will be a run-off election on Sunday, November 4, between Jacek Majchrowski and Małgorzata Wassermann.

Wassermann is spinning this as a majority for change:

The long hashtag is her main slogan, which means "new president, more possibilities".

For Poland as a whole, Radio Poland is reporting that [the conservatives are winning](http://www.thenews.pl/1/9/Artykul/388351,UPDATE-Polish-conservatives-win-local-elections-TVP). It's not a neutral source, but PiS is indeed doing relatively well in the regional assemblies. On the other hand, they didn't get a second round in Warsaw, where they had a better candidate than the Civic Platform.

And finally, I'm sad to say that Kraków might lose K-pop fan Sylwia if President Majchrowski is re-elected:
