Conservative Karol Nawrocki elected Poland's new president | BBC News

Right-wing historian Karol Nawrocki has been elected Poland’s new president, the state electoral commission (PKW) said.

PKW said Nawrocki won 50.9% percent of the votes – ahead of Warsaw’s liberal mayor Rafal Trzaskowski on 49.1% percent.

It’s a sensational turnaround from the result of the first exit poll – published immediately after voting ended at 21:00 local time (19:00 GMT) on Sunday – that showed Trzaskowski winning on 50.3% to Nawrocki’s 49.7%.

Trzaskowski had claimed victory after the first exit poll, while Nawrocki cautioned that the results were too close to call.
