Polish centrist presidential candidate Rafal Trzaskowski said he won the second round of the election after an exit poll showed him narrowly in the lead ahead of nationalist candidate Karol Nawrocki.

According to the preliminary result of an exit poll prepared by the Ipsos research centre, Rafał Trzaskowski has won 50.3% of the vote. The exit poll's result is, however, within the margin of error and too close to call.

Warsaw’s liberal mayor and his insurgent populist challenger are locked in a dead heat as they fight for the presidency of Poland, exit polls projected after Sunday’s head-to-head vote, leaving the country tilting between two wildly different political futures.
