The government of Poland’s newly elected PM Donald Tusk won a vote of confidence in parliament on Tuesday, Reuters informed.
248 MPs backed the new government, while 201 expressed no confidence.
This came a day after a majority of Polish MPs elected Tusk as the country’s new prime minister when the government led by acting Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki failed to win the support of lawmakers.
Donald Tusk became prime minister nearly two months after a coalition of parties ranging from left-wing to moderately conservative won the national election.
Tusk and his cabinet are due to be formally sworn in Wednesday morning by President Andrzej Duda.
The new PM vowed to improve Warsaw’s relations with Brussels, which had suffered tensions during the last eight years of Law and Justice (PiS) party rule.
Previously, Tusk served as Poland’s prime minister from 2007 to 2014 before taking over as president of the European Council from 2014 to 2019.
