Exit poll: Civic Coalition's Rafał Trzaskowski will be the new mayor of Warsaw

His main rival backed by ruling coalition, the United Right, Patryk Jaki got 30,9 percent of votes.

The result comes as a surprise as many pre-election polls predicted a run-off between the two, which Trzaskowski was tipped to decisively win.

The second round, however, will not be needed as, according to the regulations, whoever gets more than 50 percent in the first round becomes the mayor.

I'd like to sincerely thank all the people of Warsaw, as it is them who I owe today's success, we hope that the final results will only reaffirm the exit polls, the Civic Coalition's candidate Rafał Trzaskowski said shortly after exit polls were annouced.

He added that "Thanks to hundreds of conversations, we have earned this huge credit of trust, which first and foremost, obliges us to very hard work".

Patryk Jaki said after the announcement of exit polls: "we've done everything we could; I'd like sincerely congratulate Rafał Trzaskowski and if he ever needs my advice, he can always count on my help".
