Polish Election: Opposition PiS Wins Parliamentary Elections, Beata Szydlo New Prime Minister

26.10.2015 //

Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz of ruling Civic Platform Party conceded defeat.

Poland’s euro-sceptic opposition Law and Justice Party (PiS) has won Sunday’s parliamentary elections.

The conservative opposition party has secured about 39 percent of votes, giving it sufficient seats in parliament to form a majority government without any support from other parties, the exit polls showed Sunday, according to Politico.

PiS leader Jaroslaw Kacxynski claimed victory shortly after the state broadcaster released exit polls on Sunday night.

“The law will be respected; we will pursue the truth, but there will be no revenge, no negative emotions, no personal games or personal settling of scores,” said Kacxynski, according to Cntv.
