A very close race for the presidency in Poland

Exit polls suggest that President Andrzej Duda holds a slim lead after the closest presidential election in Poland since the fall of communism in 1989.
President Duda, an ally of the conservative government led by the Law and Justice party, is hoping to beat Rafal Trzaskowksi, the centre-right mayor of the capital, Warsaw.
Karolina Wigura, co-founder of the non-governmental organisation, Liberal Culture, is not surprised at how close the race is for the presidency.
