WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland's governing nationalists on Tuesday accused opposition lawmakers of trying for a second time to delay a presidential election, after the speaker of the Senate said it would not reconvene to discuss legislation for the vote until next week.

The election was originally scheduled for May 10, but that date was missed after the opposition-controlled upper parliamentary house took the full thirty days it was allowed to review a draft law to authorise the vote as a postal-only ballot due to the coronavirus.
