Poland's Kaczynski concedes defeat in election

Jaroslaw Kaczynski, leader of Poland's right-wing opposition Law and Justice party (PiS), conceded defeat on Sunday in the presidential election run-off.

"I have to start by doing what good manners require, that is by congratulating the victor," he told cheering supporters. TVP state television's exit poll gave Bronislaw Komorowski of the ruling centrist Civic Platform (PO) 53% of the vote against 47% for Kaczynski. (Reuters)
