WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland's incumbent Law and Justice (PiS) have won the most votes for a single party in Sunday's general election, exit polls showed, but the liberal opposition bloc of parties appeared to secure a parliamentary majority, raising the possibility of an end to eight years of nationalist rule.

If the outcome is confirmed by official results, the vote would mark a massive turnaround for Warsaw, which has feuded with the European Union over the rule of law, media freedom, migration and LGBT rights since PiS came to power in 2015.
