Poland's Eurosceptic conservatives triumph in vote - exit poll
None
Poland's eurosceptic Law and Justice party (PiS) is on course to unseat the ruling Civic Platform (PO) after eight years in power, an exit poll showed on Sunday, a result that could set the country at odds with some of its European allies.
Run by Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the twin brother of Poland's late president Lech, PiS secured 39.1 percent of the vote, well ahead of the centrist, staunchly pro-European Union PO on 23.4 percent, said pollster Ipsos.
A triumphant Kaczynski immediately declared victory. Such a score would give PiS 242 seats in the 460-member lower house of parliament, the exit poll showed, allowing the party to govern alone without the need for a coalition partner.
Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz of PO swiftly conceded defeat.
