WARSAW (Reuters) -- Nationalist opposition candidate Karol Nawrocki narrowly won Poland's presidential election, results released on Monday show, delivering a blow to the centrist government's efforts to cement Warsaw's pro-European orientation.
In a victory for European conservatives inspired by U.S. President Donald Trump, Nawrocki secured 50.89% of the vote, election commission data shows. The outcome presages more political gridlock as Nawrocki is likely to use his presidential veto to thwart Prime Minister Donald Tusk's liberal policy agenda.
