Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk wins
Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk enjoyed a strong lead over his conservative rival and predecessor Jaroslaw Kaczynski in parliamentary elections, with his centrist party set to become the first ever in Poland's post-communist era to win a second consecutive term.
One exit poll gave Tusk's party nearly 40 percent support, well ahead of its main challenger, the conservative Law and Justice party of Kaczynski. The poll, by the TNS OBOP institute, showed Kaczynski's party winning 30 percent of the votes.
