Poland’s President Andrzej Duda.
—
The candidate of the conservative governing party Law and Justice (PiS), incumbent Andrzej Duda, has clearly won the first round of the presidential elections in Poland with 41.8 percent of the vote, according to the exit polls of the polling institute Ipsos. Unsurprisingly, the liberal challenger Rafal Trzaskowski from the opposition coalition (KO) came in second. The Mayor of Warsaw captured 30.4 percent according to the post-election survey. He will challenge Duda in a runoff election on July 12th.
