Nationalist historian Karol Nawrocki won Poland's presidential election, official results showed on Monday, in a major blow for the country's pro-EU government.

The 42-year-old, an admirer of US President Donald Trump, scored 50.89 percent of votes in Sunday's runoff, the national election commission said.
