STORYLINE:
Poland's Ruling Law and Justice party has acknowledged its performance in the country's latest parliamentary election might not be enough to stay in power.
Jaroslaw Kaczynski said that the outcome was uncertain telling supporters at his headquarters that his party’s result, at nearly 37% of the vote, according to the exit poll, was a great success, but might not be enough.
“We must have hope and we must also know that regardless of whether we are in power or in the opposition, we will implement this (political) project in various ways and we will not allow Poland to be betrayed," Kaczynski said.
If the result predicted by an exit poll holds, Law and Justice will have won but also lost the election.
It got more seats than any other party but not enough to build a government and pass laws in the legislature.
The Ipsos exit poll suggested that Law and Justice obtained 200 seats. The far-right Confederation got 12 seats, a showing the party said was a defeat.
It also showed that three opposition parties have likely won a combined 248 seats in the 460-seat lower house of parliament, the Sejm.
