Poland – Legislative election

In Poland, elections to both the Sejm and the Senate were held on Sunday. Here is the result of the Sejm election (2007 in brackets).

Civic Platform (PO) – 39.2% (-2.3), 206 seats (-3)
Law and Justice (PiS) – 29.9% (-2.2), 157 seats (-9)
Palikot’s Movement (Ruch Palikota) – 10.0% (+10), 40 seats (+40)
Polish People’s Party (PSL) – 8.4% (-0.5), 30 seats (-1)
Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) – 8.2% (-5), 26 seats (-27)
Poland Comes First (PJN) – 2.2% (-), 0 seats (-15)

The incumbent government is a coalition of the PO and the PSL. Given the Ruch Palikota is a break-away party from the PO, the incumbent parties did pretty well and are likely to renew their alliance.
