Poland’s governing party beat back the biggest threat to its nationalist transformation during its half-decade rule, with incumbent Andrzej Duda narrowly winning Sunday’s presidential election.
In near-record turnout, Duda won 51% of votes, the state electoral commission said on Monday. The challenger, Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski, conceded defeat just before the final results were given.
