Poland’s governing right-wing Law and Justice party (PiS) won European elections, complete official results showed on Monday, with its leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski urging a wider victory in the autumn general ballot.
The PiS took 45.38 per cent of the vote to win 27 of Poland’s 51 seats in the European Parliament compared with 38.47 per cent and 22 seats for the liberal European Coalition, according to official results.
The progressive Spring party, led by openly gay former MP and mayor Robert Biedron, took 6.06 per cent for three seats while the far-right Confederation group failed to cross the five-per cent threshold required to enter the European Parliament.
