Polish National Election Commission confirmed on Monday that the right-wing Law and Justice has won Sunday's parliamentary election with 37.58 percent of votes.

The National Election Commission announced that Civic Platform has won 24.09 percent of votes, Kukiz'15, 8.81 percent, Modern, 7.6 percent, United Left Wing, 7.55 percent, Polish People's Party, 5.13 per cent.

The new parliament will be composed of five parties. The United Left Wing, as a coalition of several left wing parties, did not succeed in passing the threshold of 8 per cent to obtain seats in the parliament.

The Election Commission will announce the final results and final number of seats in the Parliament during a press conference on Tuesday. But the updated results suggest that Law and Justice will have about 230 seats in the 460-seat Polish Parliament. Endit
