An exit poll shows that Poland's conservative opposition party is slightly ahead of Prime Minister Donald Tusk's pro-EU party in the local and regional elections. However, the socially liberal mayor of Warsaw, an ally of Tusk, easily won another term in the capital.
An exit poll released after Poland ’s local and regional elections shows Prime Minister Donald Tusk ’s pro-EU party slightly trailing the conservative opposition party that governed Poland for eight years until December.
The exit polls have a small margin of error and the final results are not expected until Monday. But they indicated that Law and Justice, the conservative party that governed Poland from 2015-2023, is still a political force to be reckoned with in the nation of 38 million people. Law and Justice leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski declared victory, and said the result was a message to those who had counted the party out.
Warsaw mayor Rafal Trzaskowsi will avoid a run-off after winning nearly 60% of the vote, according to the exit poll. The result amid record turnout spelled the end of eight bumpy years of rule by Law and Justice, which was accused by the European Union of violating democratic standards with its changes to the judicial system and public media.
