杜达当选波兰总统,反对党获胜

Incumbent Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski, facing a surprisingly strong electoral challenge from conservative Andrzej Duda, conceded defeat Sunday.

His concession came a short while after voting ended and a key exit poll showed him trailing by a 53-47 percent margin.

Komorowski said: "I wish him a successful presidency because I wish well for Poland.\'\'

A 62-year-old historian and former defense minister, Mr. Komorowski campaigned for a second term largely on national security issues, including heightened tensions with Russia over the Ukraine crisis. He was forced

into Sunday\'s runoff vote after finishing second to Mr. Duda in first-round polls May 10.

The victory for the 43-year-old Mr. Duda marks the first major electoral win for the opposition Law and Justice party that nominated him.

"Thank you to Mr. President Bronislaw Komorowski for the rivalry in this election campaign, for the congratulations which he passed to me.\'\'

The win ends more than eight years of political dominance by the incumbent\'s Civic Platform party.  It also sets the stage for what analysts predict will be a tight re-election battle later this year between Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz - a Komorowski ally -- and the conservative opposition.

一项重要的投票站出口调查显示，科莫洛夫斯基以47对53的得票率落后于杜达。科莫洛夫斯基随后宣布败选。 他向杜达表示祝贺。

科莫洛夫斯基说，“我祝他成功，因为我希望波兰好。”

现年62岁的科莫洛夫斯基是一位历史学家，曾担任国防部长。他2010年首次当选总统，这次竞选连任的纲领主要围绕着国家安全主题，包括因乌克兰危机而与俄罗斯关系紧张。他在5月10日的第一轮选举中得票第二，不得不与领先的杜达进行决选。

43岁的杜达当选标志着他所在的反对党法律正义党首次获得重大选举胜利。杜达当选后发表讲话：“感谢你，科莫洛夫斯基先生，在这次竞选中作为我的对手，也感谢你对我胜选的祝贺。”

这次选举结束了公民纲领党八年多的政治主导地位，也为波兰今年晚些时候举行总理选举设置了舞台。分析人士预计科莫洛夫斯基的盟友、现任总理科帕奇和保守派候选人之间会有一番激烈较量。
