Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk Wednesday won a confidence vote 243-210. The result averts early elections while keeping Tusk's pro-EU alliance in place.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s government survived a confidence vote in parliament on Wednesday, shoring up its mandate after the nationalist opposition’s victory in Poland’s presidential election deepened political gridlock and raised doubts about Tusk’s ability to deliver on key reforms.

Tusk called for a vote of confidence after his political camp narrowly lost the presidential election.
