"Poland's Political Landscape Shaken: Implications of the Opposition's Victory"

Poland's governing right-wing populist Law and Justice party is predicted to win the most votes in the recent election but will lose its majority in parliament. If confirmed, President Andrezj Duda will appoint a new prime minister to form a government. However, Law and Justice may struggle to form a majority government, while the opposition coalition of Civic Coalition, the Third Way, and the Left appears capable of doing so. If the first attempt fails, parliament will have a chance to form a government, potentially giving a majority to the opposition. If all attempts fail, fresh elections may be called. The opposition coalition faces challenges due to its political diversity and potential opposition from President Duda and the Constitutional Tribunal.
