Martin Rundkvist"The official results from Sunday’s Polish parliamentary elections show that [...] the ruling national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party won the largest share of the vote but has lost its majority in parliament. Meanwhile, the mainstream opposition [...] together have a majority that would allow them to form a government."
Peter Erik HansenThe Donald is back - Donald Tusk - and Poland is back in the heart of the European Union.
The Civic Coalition (KO) with the Third Way and New Left parties, an alliance led by Donald Tusk, has secured 248 of the 460 seats, giving him a path to form a coalition government.
The ruling rightwing Law and Justice (PiS) led by Jarosław Kaczyński remains the biggest party with 194 seats https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-67123584.amp

"Elections in Poland: after the counting of almost all the ballots, the victory of the pro-European opposition confirmed
According to the partial results on 99.54% of the ballots, PiS leads the vote with 35.58%, but without a majority, while the Civic Coalition, the Third Way party and the Left together obtain more than 53.52%."
Pologne : l’opposition pro-européenne remporte les législatives
Selon les projections de l’institut de sondage Ipsos, la Coalition civique de Donald Tusk obtiendrait 158 sièges, la Troisième voie (chrétiens-démocrates) 61 et la Gauche 30, soit 249 sièges pour l’opposition pro-européenne sur un total de 460.
DuncanMSussexPolOkay, apparently I may have a positive surprise with #PolandVotes - not veto-proof but looks like there's a viable non-crazy coalition possible.
It's still just exit polls and I'm burned by #Slovakia but apparently Poland's exit polls have historically been reliable. So let's hope this holds true by tomorrow evening. 🤞
Bas EickhoutRT by @BasEickhout: IF - big IF - this is correct, then
KO (centre-right) + Trzecia Droga (centre-right) + Lewica (left) = 248 seats.
231 required.
But exit polls can be wrong, and we need to be cautious, particularly with the unprecedented turnout.
More updates to come. #PolandVotes

John QuigginExit polls look good in #PolandVotes but why haven’t they counted the votes ?
ThomasAre there any Polish users in here who can confirm that there is a good chance that PiS might have lost the elections today?
That would be great news, seems like Poland is not as lost as Hungary, where all hope is gone.
Sergey VasilievThere's a chance that Poland's rule-of-law crisis and discord with the EU will be over soon, now that opposition parties have apparently obtained the majority of votes over #PiS and would be able to form the new government. Great news if so, and very rare these days. #PolandVotes
