Polish opposition groups say Donald Tusk is their candidate for prime minister

The leaders of three opposition groups that collectively won the most votes in Poland’s recent elections say they have agreed to form a government together. They also announced Tuesday that Donald Tusk, the leader of the largest group, is their candidate to be prime minister. Tusk is a former prime minister and former president of the European Council. Their announcement came just before President Andrzej Duda was scheduled to open two days of postelection consultations with the heads of parties that won seats in the new parliament. Duda is required to tap a candidate for prime minister.
