Polish opposition leader Donald Tusk said that three opposition parties had sufficient votes to win the general election on Sunday after an exit poll projected that they had enough combined support to oust Law and Justice, the governing conservative nationalist party.
The Ipsos exit poll suggested that the opposition together has likely won 248 seats in the 460-seat lower house of parliament, the Sejm.
Law and Justice, according to the projection, obtained 200 seats, while the far-right Confederation got 12 seats.
The exit poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
Law and Justice won nearly 44% of the vote in 2019, but has been polling in recent weeks at more than 30%.
