Poland election: final results suggest opposition parties could form Tusk-led coalition – Europe live

The final results of Poland’s Sunday election were published. Law and Justice (PiS) got 35.38%, Civic Coalition (KO) 30.7%, Third Way: 14.4%, The Left (Lewica): 8.61% and Konfederacja: 7.16%

The country now waits to see how long it will take for a new governing coalition led by Donald Tusk to be formed.

Tusk has asked Poland’s President Andrzej Duda to move quickly.

Manfred Weber, the leader of the centre-right European People’s Party, said that “we are extremely happy about the outcome – the Polish people have spoken”.

Mikuláš Dzurinda, a former Slovak prime minister, told the Guardian this morning that the outcome of the Polish election would “boost the centripetal tendencies in the EU”.

Róża Thun, a member of Polska 2050, part of Third Way, said “this was a victory of democracy” but also that there are “huge challenges in front of us”.
