Opposition wants new election in voivodships

Main opposition party Law and Justice (PiS) has prepared a draft law on shortening the term of newly chosen voivodship councils in order to carry out a new election, Polish Radio reports. The party claims that the number of violations recorded during the November 16 election calls for their repeating. A similar opinion has been voiced by politicians from the Democratic Left Alliance. PiS parliamentary caucus leader Mariusz Błaszczak said that the proposal is in line with the construction. However, lawyers have voiced doubts about the issue.
