In an unusual format agreed upon by both campaign teams, the debate will feature no questions from journalists. Instead, the candidates will pose questions to each other across six thematic areas.

The debate will be moderated by Super Express journalist Jacek Prusinowski.

A coin toss determined that Nawrocki will begin the questioning. In each following segment, the first question will alternate between the two contenders.

Each candidate will also be given time for a final, open-ended statement.

The debate is being co-organized by Poland’s three largest broadcasters - TVP, TVN, and Polsat - and will be made freely available to all media outlets for live transmission.
