(ANSA-AP) - WARSAW - Poland's conservative ruling party Law and Justice won the most votes in a general election held Sunday in the deeply divided nation and appeared, according to an exit poll, to have secured a comfortable majority in the parliament to govern for four more years. The exit poll, conducted by the research firm Ipsos, projected that Law and Justice won 43.6% of the votes. That would translate into a majority of seats - 239 -in the 460-seat lower house of parliament. The poll said that a centrist pro-European Union umbrella group, Civic Coalition, would come in second with 27.4%. The biggest party in the coalition is Civic Platform, which governed Poland from 2007-2015. Coalition leaders cheered and welcomed the result as a spur for an effort toward uniting society around common goals and understanding. (ANSA-AP).
