Prime Minister Donald Tusk has become the first Polish leader to be re-elected since the end of communism.
Officials results, announced after 93% of votes had been counted, gave Mr Tusk's Civic Platform party enough seats to continue in coalition.
The centre-right Civic Platform took 39% of the vote, against 30% for its conservative challenger, the Law and Justice Party.
The leader of Law and Justice, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, has admitted defeat.
Civic Platform becomes the first Polish party to win two consecutive terms since communism's fall in 1989.
Mr Tusk, 54, appears to have been rewarded for presiding over four years of strong economic growth, since winning a snap election in 2007.

Dissatisfied with the result, General Election is marshalling his forces and preparing for a march on Warsaw!

I'll keep this going a while, I think

Are the Polish going home now to a better country?

Poland economy good, UK economy bad.

Curious where all the Poles are here, I'd love to hear their opinion.

Actually all we care is whether Katarzyna Lenart won. The 23 year old candidate who's ad consisted of a striptease. Here one Pole who should do well at the polls.
