Hard-right party could secure seats in Poland's lower house, poll shows
The Confederation of the Polish Crown, a hard-right party in Poland, has garnered support from 5.7 percent of voters, indicating that it would secure seats in the Sejm, the lower house of parliament, if elections were held today, according to a recent poll.
The IBRiS survey published by the Rzeczpospolita newspaper on Wednesday indicated that the ruling centrist Civic Coalition (KO) received support from 28.7 percent of Poles, whereas the socially conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party, which was defeated in the 2023 parliamentary elections, closely followed with 28.1 percent.
The far-right Confederation ranked third with 13.4 percent of votes, surpassing The Left, which received 7.6 percent of support.
The hard-right Confederation of the Polish Crown, led by Grzegorz Braun, would emerge as the fifth political entity to gain seats in the Sejm.
This poll contrasts with the previous IBRiS survey published by Rzeczpospolita in early September, which indicated that PiS was leading with 30.6 percent of the vote, placing KO in second place with 29.9 percent.
The survey was conducted between September 26 and September 27 on a sample of 1,073 adult Poles. (PAP)
