The ruling party's main contender, the centrist Civic Coalition (KO), led by the Civic Platform (PO), received 27.4 percent of the vote.

The Left, a coalition of three left-wing parties, running under the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) party banner, was supported by 11.9 percent.

The agrarian Polish People's Party (PSL), which ran together with the right-wing Kukiz'15 movement, was supported by 9.6 percent of the voters.

The far-right Confederation was backed by 6.4 percent of voters in the Ipsos exit poll. (PAP)
