Conservative wins Polish election
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Tough-talking Warsaw Mayor Lech Kaczynski of the nationalist Law and Justice Party won Poland’s presidential runoff Sunday, coming from behind after convincing older and poorer voters with his calls to preserve the social safety net in a conservative government.
With 91 percent of the votes counted, Kaczynski led rival Donald Tusk from the pro-market Civic Platform party, 55.5 percent to 44.5 percent, according to the State Election Commission.
During the campaign, Kaczynski vowed to root out former communists and fight political corruption, but sounded a conciliatory note as he claimed victory late Sunday.
