Donald Tusk, leader of the largest opposition grouping Civic Coalition (KO), delivers a speech after the exit poll results are announced in Warsaw, Poland, October 15, 2023.
As Europe’s sixth-largest economy, a revitalised pro-EU attitude in Poland would be particularly welcome.
The 66-year old Tusk and his pro-EU coalition allies may still have to wait weeks or even months though before getting a turn at forming a government.
Duda has referred the issue at the heart of that row to a constitutional tribunal in Poland.
The central bank though has slashed interest rates at its last two meetings as the election campaign burst into life.
