Although only in the European Union for five weeks, Polish voters appear ready to elect an EU reformist this week, The Times of London said Monday.
The leader of the party called Self Defense is 64-year-old farmer Andrzej Lepper, who says if he wins in Sunday's election, he will "press for a thorough renegotiation of EU entry terms so that we can use our potential properly in farming and in industry."
In national politics his party is the second-strongest force, with 29 percent backing.
The 64-year-old candidate is ahead according to opinion polls, and his party should win the largest number of seats allocated to Poland in the European Parliament.
Analysts believe Lepper's popularity is rooted in the impoverished rural areas, whereas it was the majority of city-dwellers who voted for entry into the EU.
