"Polish Election Results: PiS Leads, Far-Right Party Holds Balance of Power"
TL;DR
Poland's ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party is ahead in parliamentary elections but is projected to fall short of a majority, according to an exit poll. The liberal opposition, led by the Civic Coalition (KO), is expected to seek a governing coalition. The PiS party received 36.8% of the vote, while the KO received 31.6%. The official results will be announced later. The KO leader, Donald Tusk, aims to improve relations with Brussels, which have been strained due to clashes over issues such as judicial independence and LGBT rights.
