Poland’s far-right leader Slawomir Mentzen said he would not endorse any of the two remaining presidential candidates ahead of a tightly-contested election slated for Sunday.

Mentzen came third in the the first round of the May 18 ballot with 14.8% of the vote as far-right candidates gained more than 20% in total. This has triggered a public relations battle for his supporters between fellow nationalist Karol Nawrocki and Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski.
