Poland will hold presidential elections on May 10, Parliament speaker Radoslaw Sikorski announced on Wednesday.
Incumbent Bronislaw Komorowski is leading opinion polls and is a strong favourite to win a second five-year term.
Komorowski, who is close to the Civic Platform (PO) governing party, has a 52% backing, according to a TNS Polska poll published last week.
PO has been in power since 2007.
Andrzej Duda, the candidate of the conservative opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party, had 12% support.
The Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) has nominated Magdalena Ogorek, a former TV presenter with little political experience, as its presidential candidate.
Ogorek had 5% support in the poll.
