Poland’s nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party was on course to retain its ruling majority after a parliamentary election on Sunday, winning 43.6% of votes, an exit poll showed, APA reports quoting Reuters.
The poll by Ipsos gave 27.4% of the vote to the centrist Civic Coalition, an umbrella group that includes the Civic Platform formerly led by European Union Council President Donald Tusk. A leftist bloc garnered 11.9% of votes in the poll.
“We have victory,” PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski told party members.
