Poland's opposition center-right won the general election on Sunday with a broad lead over the ruling left-wing alliance, two exit polls showed.

The conservative Law and Justice Party won with 27.6 percent and its ally Civic Platform with 24.1 percent while the governing Democratic Left Alliance got only 11.3 percent, an exit poll for the Polish public television showed.

The other exit poll for the private television TVN gave Law and Justice Party 28.3 percent and Civic Platform 26.4 percent while the ruling alliance lagged behind with 11.1 percent.

According to the polls, the center-right opposition is set to win at least 303 seats in the 460-member lower house of parliament, leaving 50 seats to the ruling Democratic Left Alliance which won 41 percent of the vote in the last general election in 2001.
