Supreme Court refuses to consider ruling party's recount appeal

Poland's Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected an appeal by the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party in connection with the Oct. 13 general election. PiS had asked for a vote recount regarding the constituency of Tychy and Myslowice, in southern Poland, after failing to secure a majority in the Senate. PiS disputed the qualification of some votes as being invalid in respect of 6 seats altogether. Today's court decision means there will be no vote recount in the case of the Tychy-Myslenice constituency.
