THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH: The identical twin of the Polish president killed in an April plane crash has accepted that his bid to succeed his brother as president has ended in failure after exit polls showed he had lost Poland's presidential elections.
Addressing supporters at his campaign headquarters, Jaroslaw Kaczynski congratulated Bronislaw Komorowski, a pro-business and liberal ally of the Polish government, after two exit polls gave his rival 53.1 and 51 per cent.
"I congratulate the winner. I congratulate Bronislaw Komorowski," said Mr Kaczynski, adding that "there will be other elections to fight" and that "we have to mobilise" for them.
A jubilant Mr Komorowski appeared confident that the results, due on Monday, will confirm him as president of Poland."This is a victory for Polish democracy," Mr Komorowski told cheering supporters at his headquarters. "The ballots are being counted. We're opening a small bottle of champagne today, and we'll open a big one tomorrow." >>> Matthew Day in Warsaw | Sunday, July 04, 2010
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL: Komorowski Wins Polish Presidency: WARSAW—The candidate of Poland's business-friendly ruling party, which wants to shrink the state's role in the economy and deepen ties with the rest of the European Union, won Sunday's presidential election, defeating a rival with a more traditionalist agenda. >>> Gordon Fairclough and Marcin Sobczyk | Monday, July 05, 2010
