Polish lawmakers vote to reject the proposed conservative government, a widely expected outcome that paves the way for the rival pro-EU alliance to form the next administration.

Following the no-confidence vote, the lower house of parliament — controlled by the pro-EU group — will select the next candidate for prime minister, who in all likelihood will be the alliance’s leader and former EU chief Donald Tusk.
