Poland's presidential election is heading for a second round, with no single candidate getting enough votes to win Sunday's first round outright.
Bronislaw Komorowski, who has been acting leader since President Lech Kaczynski died in a plane crash on 10 March, won but by less than expected.
With 94% of votes counted, he had won 41.22%, compared to the 36.74% taken by Kaczynski's twin brother, Jaroslaw.
The two will now go head-to-head in a run-off on 4 July.
Lech Kaczynski was one of 96 people who died in a plane crash in Smolensk in western Russia on 10 April.

Both candidates appealed to national unity during an election overshadowed by April's plane crash and recent floods that killed 24 people and forced thousands from their homes.
Turnout in the election was reported to be just short of 55%. More than 30 million of Poland's 38 million citizens were registered to vote.
