    Radiopodlasie.pl Wygenerowano w dniu 2021-09-25 10:49:22 Kto wejdzie do PE? Karol Karski, Krzysztof Jurgiel, Adam Bielan, Zbigniew Kuźmiuk, Elżbieta Kruk i Beata Mazurek(PiS), Tomasz Frankowski, Jarosław Kalinowski i Krzysztof Hetman (KE)- najprawdopodobniej wejdą do Parlamentu Europejskiego. Wszyscy kandydowali w okręgach obejmujących nasz region. Prognozy są oparte na sondażu exit-poll, co oznacza, że nazwiska kandydatów, którzy obejmą mandaty, mogą się jeszcze zmienić. Prawdopodobne nazwiska europarlamentarzystów podaje Informacyjna Agencja Radiowa. Prawo i Sprawiedliwość zdobyło najwięcej, 42,4 procent głosów, w wyborach do Parlamentu Europejskiego - wynika z sondażu exit-poll zrealizowanego przez IPSOS dla telewizji TVP, Polsat i TVN. Drugie miejsce w badaniu prowadzonym dziś przed lokalami wyborczymi zajęła Koalicja Europejska - 39,1 procent. Jeśli wyniki sondażu potwierdzą się, do Parlamentu Europejskiego dostaną się także kandydaci Wiosny - 6,6 procent oraz Konfederacji - 6,1 procent. Pięcioprocentowego prgu nie przekroczyły komitety Kukiz'15 - 4,1 procent oraz Lewica Razem - 1,3 procent. Prognozowana frekwencja wyniosła 43 procent - wynika z sondażu exit-poll. Zgodnie z sondażem, Prawo i Sprawiedliwość wygrało w siedmiu okręgach (warmińsko-mazurskie z podlaskim, Mazowsze, Łódzkie, Lubelskie, Podkarpacie, Małopolska ze Świętokrzyskiem oraz Śląsk). W sześciu okręgach wygrała Koalicja Europejska (Pomorze, kujawsko-pomorskie, Warszawa, Wielkopolska, Dolny Śląsk z Opolszczyzną oraz Lubuskie z Zachodniopomorskim). Z prognozy podziału mandatów wynika, że przy takich wynikach, jakie przyniósł sondaż exit-poll, PiS miałby w Parlamencie Europejskim 24 mandaty, Koalicja Europejska - 22 mandaty, a Wiosna i Konfederacja - po trzy mandaty. Zgodnie z sondażem, w okręgu obejmującym Pomorze dwa mandaty zdobyła Koalicja Europejska (Magdalena Adamowicz oraz najprawdopodobniej Janusz Lewandowski), a jeden Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (najprawdopodobniej Anna Fotyga).
