Kaczynski wins Polish president race-final result

WARSAW (Reuters) – Final results from Poland’s presidential
run-off on Monday confirmed the victory of conservative leader
Lech Kaczynski over pro-business rival Donald Tusk.

The state electoral commission said Kaczynski captured
54.04 percent of the vote. Turnout stood at 51 percent.

Kaczynski’s victory tightens the grip on power by his Law
and Justice party, which won general elections four weeks ago
promising to shore up the welfare state and weed out
corruption.
