Polish president to meet party leaders for talks on forming government

Country waiting to see who Andrzej Duda will task with forming a cabinet after ruling nationalists lost majority

Poland's president will meet parliamentary party leaders next week, his office said, as the country waits to see who he will task with forming a government after the ruling nationalists lost their majority in the general election.

Pro-EU opposition parties secured a majority in Sunday's ballot, a huge shift for Poland after eight years of feuding with Brussels over issues ranging from judicial independence to LGBTQ+ rights. It also represents a setback for rightwing populism in the EU.
