PiS scored 33.7%, according to the Ipsos exit poll, ahead of centrist KO, which had 31.9%

Nationalist opposition party Law and Justice came first in Poland ’s local government elections, an exit poll showed on Sunday, in a setback for Prime Minister Donald Tusk ’s ambitions to cement his grip on power.

. The other groupings in government, the Christian conservative Third Way and the Left scored 13.5% and 6.8% respectively. PiS came first in that election but lost its majority, and of late the party and its allies have been plagued by infighting. One place where his party did very well was in Warsaw, where the incumbent mayor Rafal Trzaskowski, 52, secured re-election without having to go into a second round of voting.
