Poland's incumbent President Andrzej Duda has narrowly beaten challenger Rafal Trzaskowski in Sunday's presidential vote.

With 99.7% of constituencies returning results, the conservative Mr Duda had won 51.2% of ballots.

The vote has been widely seen as a battle for the country's future as well as its strained relations with the European Union.

Mr Duda's win is expected to lead to further controversial reforms.

These include reforms to the judiciary and continued opposition to abortion and gay rights.
