PiS wins the first round in Warsaw presidential election

Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz from the Civic Platfrom (PO) came second with 36.5% and left wing candidate Marek Borowski got 20.6%. Polls by PBS DGA also confirmed the results. Jarosław Kaczyński after hearing the initial results said that Law and Justice (PiS) can believe that they won the local government elections. However, the PO is similarly confident, with its leader Donal Tusk saying that, "Champagne is going to flow in Warsaw". PiS and PO candidates will battle it out in the second round of the elections later this month. (Rzeczpospolita p.A1, A3) M.M.
