Investing.com -- Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has called for a partial vote recount in the country’s recent presidential election due to potential irregularities.
"Wherever there is doubt, let’s count the votes again," Tusk told reporters in Warsaw on Friday, emphasizing the need to investigate all concerns about how the ballot was conducted.
The election on June 1 saw Tusk’s candidate Rafal Trzaskowski narrowly lose to Karol Nawrocki, a nationalist historian and former boxer backed by the previously ruling Law & Justice party.
Poland’s Supreme Court, which is responsible for validating election results, has received approximately 30,000 complaints following the close race. Tusk indicated that based on the government’s initial assessment, "something was wrong" at 800 polling stations.
Members of the ruling coalition had previously claimed that in some instances, votes meant for Trzaskowski were assigned to Nawrocki and vice versa, potentially benefiting Nawrocki in the final tally.
The Supreme Court will now need to address these complaints as part of the election validation process.
