Andrzej Duda wins Poland's first round of presidential election - exit polls

Law and Justice (PiS) candidate Andrzej Duda garnered 34.8 percent of the vote and won the first round of presidential election, according to exit polls conducted by IPSOS for TVN24, TVP and Polsat broadcasters. President Bronisław Komorowski, hoping to win a second term in office, was pushed into a second place, with 32.2 percent of the vote. A run-off will take place in two weeks, on May 24. "We have two difficult weeks ahead of us. Two weeks of hard work. (...) The victory, I deeply believe, is ahead and will happen in the second round of voting. I believe we are able to stand united, because there's only one white-red flag," said Duda during his speech. "Let's not have any illusions. We face hard work, a hard fight, but I am convinced that we are also facing victory," Komorowski told supporters at the National Stadium in Warsaw late on Sunday. Rock musician Paweł Kukiz came in third with 20.2 percent of the vote, much more than he was polling last week. The voter turnout stood at 49.4 percent.
