Komorowski leads Polish presidential runoff as most ballots counted (Update-1)

Topic: Presidential elections in Poland

Polish National Election Commission is set to announce the final results of the election on Monday, July 5, at noon local time

Acting Polish president Bronislaw Komorowski received 52.63 percent of the vote after 95.01 percent of ballots cast in Sunday's presidential elections in Poland had been counted on Monday.

His opponent, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the late Polish president Lech Kaczynski's brother, is some five percent behind, with 47.37 percent of the vote.

National Election Commission chairman Stefan Jaworski said the turnout stood at 55.29 percent.

The first round of early elections, forced by President Kaczynski's death in the April air crash in western Russia, was held on June 20. It was narrowly won by Komorowski (41.54 percent), a pro-EU, moderate member of the governing Civic Platform party.

Polish pollster TNS OBOP said earlier exit polls from presidential runoff showed a lead for Komorowski with 53.1 percent after surveying voters, while 46.9 percent was for Kaczynski.

The Polish National Election Commission is set to announce the final results of the election on Monday, July 5, at noon local time.
