Kwasniewski wins second term with 56% of vote with 62% turnout
According to election poll results at 8.00 PM Sunday, Aleksander
Kwasniewski was re-elected with 56.1% of votes. If this result is
officially confirmed by the National Election Committee, there will be no
second round, since a candidate receiving more than 50% of the votes is
automatically declared the winner. The runner-up was Andrzej Olechowski,
with 18.1 %, followed by Solidarity Election Action (AWS) Marian
Krzaklewski with 13.7%. Voter turnout was estimated at 62%. Margin for
error was less than 1%. Exit polls revealed that a significant part of
Kwasniewski's electorate was composed of Krzaklewski supporters. (Gazeta
