The 2024 Civic Coalition presidential primary were the third Polish presidential primary election after the 2010 and 2019 primaries for the Civic Platform party.[1] The primary was organized by the coalition following the decision by Donald Tusk not to run for president again (he lost in a runoff to Lech Kaczyński in 2005 and has served as prime minister from 2007 to 2014 and since 2023). Two main candidates emerged: Minister of Foreign Affairs Radosław Sikorski and Mayor of Warsaw, candidate for president in 2020 Rafał Trzaskowski.[2] All parties of the Civic Coalition (Civic Platform, Modern, Polish Initiative, The Greens) were invited to take part in the primaries.[3][4][5] The voting took place on 22 November 2024, and the party's nominee, Rafał Trzaskowski, was announced the following day. 22,126 votes were cast in the primary.[6][7][8]
