This is the best summary I could come up with:


According to a final exit poll published on Monday, a partnership with the far-right Confederation would leave the socially conservative PiS 20 seats below the required number.

International observers said on Monday that parties had been able to campaign freely before Sunday's vote, but PiS had enjoyed a "clear advantage" through biased state media coverage and the misuse of public funds.

State TV's election night coverage broadcast Mr Kaczynski's address to supporters in full, but gave little room to his main rival.

Law and Justice came to power in 2015, and it has emphasised Catholic family values, increasing the minimum wage and raising child support and pensioner payments.

PiS leaders did show signs of wavering in recent weeks, but that was seen as an attempt to court far-right voters and whoever leads the next government is expected to maintain Poland's support for its neighbour.

Poland may not get a new government before December, after PiS ally President Andrzej Duda said the winning party would be given the first chance of forming a coalition because that is the Polish tradition.
