WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Party leaders competing in Poland’s parliamentary election on Sunday have called on voters to give them winning support. They held their final campaign rallies Friday as opinion polls suggested a close race. Ruling party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski and main opposition leader Donald Tusk sought to discredit each other’s policies and vowed improvement under their own rule. The election will decide whether the ruling conservative, Euro-sceptic Law and Justice party will win a third straight term or the liberal, pro-European Civic Coalition and its partners will take power. Opinion polls suggest Law and Justice will win the most votes but will lose its parliament majority and the possibility of ruling singlehandedly.
