Poland witnessed its biggest political upset in a decade as Andrzej Duda won the presidency, setting the stage for a parliamentary ballot later this year that could unseat one of Europe’s most economically successful governments.
The zloty currency weakened along with stocks after Duda won with 51.55 percent support, according to final results announced on Monday. Incumbent Bronislaw Komorowski, with 48.45 percent, conceded in a defeat that may shake up the government run by his Civic Platform allies.
