10:44 • 05.07.10

Bronislaw Komorowski, Poland's acting president and the governing party candidate, has regained the advantage in a close presidential election. He now has 52.6%, with rival Jaroslaw Kaczynski on 47.4%, with 95% of votes counted. Full results are due later.

According to BBC News Kaczynski had initially accepted defeat, but Komorowski's camp remained cautious.

Mr Kaczynski is the twin of former President Lech Kaczynski, who died in a plane crash with 95 others in April.

This run-off election was held after neither candidate gained more than 50% in the first round in June.

Poland's electoral commission says that final results will not be announced until Monday afternoon.
