WARSAW (Reuters) - Polish President-elect Andrzej Duda on Friday called on his political opponents, the governing Civic Platform (PO) party, not to take any significant decisions before he is sworn in early August.

Duda unexpectedly won presidential elections last Sunday, paving the way for his socially conservative Law and Justice (PiS), Poland's biggest opposition party, to win autumn general elections, according to opinion polls.
