Polish president to name new prime minister-designate after opposition coalition’s election win

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — An aide says Polish President Andrzej Duda will announce who he is tapping as prime minister-designate tasked with forming a new government following general elections in which the ruling right-wing party lost its parliamentary majority to three allied opposition parties. The announcement will trigger the process of forming a new government. Duda said last month the two candidates are the conservative Premier Mateusz Morawiecki of the Law and Justice party, and former premier and main opposition leader Donald Tusk. Law and Justice is far short of a majority but won the largest share of the vote. Tusk was the target of vicious government attacks during the campaign.
