Poland goes to the polls on Sunday for a contest that pits the ruling nationalistic PiS party against the liberal opposition Civic Coalition. Neither side stands to win an absolute majority, with the ultra-nationalist Confederation party on track to play kingmaker – an outcome that could affect Warsaw's relationship with Brussels and influence its policy on Ukraine.
The populist Law and Justice (PiS) party is seeking an unprecedented third term after eight years in power. Polls put it in first place, but indicate that an overal majority is very unlikely.
