The last match is on Sunday, also in Lahore.Remaining contenders after the fraught first round are neck and neck, but the country’s choice will determine whether government can get vital reforms through.

Rafał Trzaskowski from the centre-right Civic Platform of the governing Civic Coalition and Karol Nawrocki, an independent candidate supported by the right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) party, which ran Poland between 2015 and 2023, are the two remaining contenders in thefirst round of polls
on May 18, Trzaskowski won 31.1 percent of the votes while Nawrocki came second with 29.5 percent.

“This decision is simply the right thing to do, at this historic time, for the EU to genuinely support Syria’s recovery and a political transition that fulfils the aspirations of all Syrians,” Kallas said.Sanctions previously imposed by the EU and the US targeted the government of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who was overthrown in a lightning rebel offensive, led by the now-interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa, in December.
The measures had effectively shut Syria out of global trade and banking systems, severely restricting access to goods and investment.Al-Sharaa had lobbied for the sanctions to be removed as part of broader efforts to stabilise and rebuild the nation.
