Civic Coalition's liberal candidate, Rafał Trzaskowski, went further than simply delivering his wishes, and launched the #KobietyNaWybory (#WomenGoVote) action on this special day - also meeting the constituents in Poland's southern city of Bielsko-Biała.

Independent-but-Law-and-Justice-supported conservative, Karol Nawrocki, emphasised the personal angle in his social media Women's Day wishes video - underlining the importance of the women who surround him in his private life, like his mother, sister, wife and daughter.

The candidate of the far-right Confederation party, Sławomir Mentzen, celebrated Women's Day in the western city of Jarocin.

"Dear Polish women, on Women's Day I wish you all the best - health, happiness and fulfillment of dreams. May each day bring you joy - and may your strength, wisdom and determination always be appreciated"

- Mentzen wrote on his social media.

By 4 PM Polish time, the liberal Poland2050's leader and candidate, the current Lower House Speaker Szymon Hołownia, had yet post his Women's Day wishes on X - and same goes for the leftist Razem party's candidate, Adrian Zandberg.

The aforementioned five candidates took the top 5 places, respectively, in the March 7th poll by Poland's Centre for Public Opinion Research.
