The result was a disappointment for the Law and Justice party and its leader Jarosław Kaczyński, who have governed Poland for eight years with a conservative, nationalist and sometimes anti-EU agenda.

Though it remains Poland’s biggest party, Law and Justice lost its majority in parliament, putting a centrist opposition led by former EU president Donald Tusk in a strong position to take over power, official results indicated, with over 99% of districts counted.

A victory for democracy; a defeat for the illiberal, authoritarian right.

The Law and Justice Party is so authoritarian that they allowed free and fair elections.
