Donald Tusk called the vote to seek endorsement of his government after a political opponent won the presidency.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s government survived a confidence vote in parliament on Wednesday, shoring up its mandate after the nationalist opposition’s victory in Poland’s presidential election deepened political gridlock and raised doubts about Tusk’s ability to deliver on key reforms.

Tusk called for a vote, noting Poland’s new reality after the election loss of his close ally – Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski to nationalist Karol Nawrocki.
