00:00 Polish opposition parties led by Donald Tusk are getting ready to discuss a possible coalition

00:05 government. This after official results from Sunday's election showed they'd won enough

00:10 seats between them to oust the ruling Nationalist Law and Justice Party. However, it did win

00:15 the highest number of votes at just over 35%, giving it around 190 seats in the 460-seat

00:22 chamber. So who will actually form the government is complicated and will take some time.

00:28 The first chance will be given to PIS, then the majority in the parliament will nominate

00:35 and elect a new government not coming from PIS, then the president needs to approve and

00:42 if he doesn't, there will be the first step that will finally confirm that PIS is most

00:48 likely out of power, but it will take months.

00:52 Turnout in the polls was a record high of nearly 75%. A coalition government led by

00:57 pro-EU centrists will be a massive shift in Polish politics after eight years of conflict

01:02 with Brussels including over democratic standards and media freedom.
