Poland’s incumbent Law and Justice (PiS) party was narrowly ahead in Sunday’s general election, exit polls showed, but the liberal opposition appeared to secure a majority, raising the possibility of an end to eight years of conservative rule.
If the outcome is confirmed by official results, the vote would mark a massive turnaround for Warsaw, which has feuded with the European Union over the rule of law, media freedom, migration, and LGBT issues since PiS came to power in 2015.
