WARSAW, Muharram 14, 1437, Oct 27, 2015, SPA -- The Eurosceptic Law and Justice party (PiS) has become the first party to win an outright majority in the Polish parliament since the fall of communism in 1989, official results showed on Tuesday, Reuters reported. Run by Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the twin brother of Poland's late president Lech, the PiS secured 235 seats out of 460 in the lower chamber of parliament, the Sejm, allowing it to form a government without coalition partners. The victory marks a decisive swing towards nationalism and distrust of the European Union in the country of 38 million, suggesting there will be tensions with Warsaw's key allies in Brussels. -- SPA 21:45 LOCAL TIME 18:45 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
