Exit Poll: Right-Wing Party Wins Poland’s Parliamentary Vote
Poland took a decisive turn to the right in its parliamentary election Sunday, tossing out the centrist party that had governed for eight years for a socially conservative and Euroskeptic party that wants to keep migrants out and spend more on Poland’s own poor.
An exit poll showed the conservative Law and Justice party winning with 39 percent of the vote, enough to govern alone without forming a coalition.
The pro-European Civic Platform party received 23 percent of the vote, according to the exit poll. Polish Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz of Civic Platform conceded shortly after the exit poll was released.
