Official results from Poland’s recent general election have revealed that the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party has secured the most votes, but now faces an uphill battle to retain power due to the absence of an outright majority.

1. PiS - 35.38% - 194/460
2. Civic Coalition - 30.70% - 157
3. Third Way - 14.4% - 65
4. New Left - 8.61% - 26
5. Confederation - 7.16% - 18

Тhree opposition parties, committed to collaborating and seeking to establish a coalition government, command a combined total of 53.71 percent of the vote and 248 seats.

One notable aspect of this election was the record-breaking turnout, with 74.38 percent of eligible voters casting their ballots. This marks the highest voter turnout in Poland since 1919 and even surpasses the turnout of the country’s first free elections following the fall of communism in 1989 when it reached 62.70 percent.
