WARSAW: Right wing populist and Trump ally Andrzej Duda led by a narrow margin against his europhile challenger inIncumbent Duda scored 51.0 per cent in the third and final exit poll by Ipsos whose margin of error was one percentage point.His rival, liberal Warsaw mayor Rafal Trzaskowski, who has promised to heal ties with Brussels by rolling back a controversial reform of the judiciary, was shown with 49.0 per cent.
Trzaskowski told his supporters late Sunday:"The result has probably never been so close in Polish history, we've never felt the power in our vote so much."The result will be decisive for the governing Law and Justice party, which is accused by critics of eroding hard-won democratic freedoms just three decades after the end of communist rule.
But Warsaw pensioner Danuta Lutecka told AFP that"it's important for there to be calm and good cooperation with our European partners".WHITE-RED VS RAINBOW
