WARSAW (Reuters) - Polish President Andrzej Duda said on Monday Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki will have a chance to form a new government after his Law and Justice (PiS) party won in the Oct. 15 election, though the task seems impossible as the party lacks a majority.

The nationalist PiS won the most seats in the lower house of parliament but is short of a majority and all other parties have ruled out forming a coalition with it.
