Donald Tusk of Poland's Civic Platform party led the conservative Lech Kaczynski in the presidential election on Sunday but neither of them scored enough vote to avoid a runoff, exit polls showed.

Tusk, who got around 38.6 percent of the votes, was followed by Kaczynski of the Law and Justice party with 32.2 percent, according to the exit polls.

As no one secured more than 50 percent of the votes, the top two candidates with the most votes will have to duel in the second round scheduled for Oct. 23, according to Polish election law.
