Poland waits for final election result after ruling party and opposition claim a win

Poles are facing a period of political uncertainty after they voted in huge numbers in an election in which opposition parties appeared to gain a combined majority. The ruling nationalist conservative party won more votes than any single party and said it would try to keep governing. The state electoral commission hasn't reported the final results. But the polling agency Ipsos released a so-called late poll which combined the results of an exit poll carried out during Sunday’s election and 50% of the votes counted. It showed the ruling party with 36.6%, the opposition Civic Coalition led by Donald Tusk with 31% and the centrist Third Way coalition with 13.5%. Others were in single-digit percentages.
