Likely win for party

WARSAW - Poland held an election yesterday that is likely to hand the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party a second term in office, potentially deepening the country’s isolation as unease within the EU about its commitment to democratic standards grows.

PiS is expected to win more votes than it did in 2015 and may get enough parliamentary seats to continue to govern alone –– but the shift in the political climate that it has presided over in the past four years has polarised the country.
