Poland governing coalition parties have agreed to postpone this Sunday's presidential election because of the deadly coronavirus outbreak. The nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party had wanted the vote to go ahead to get Andrzej Duda, 47, re-elected. But junior coalition partner Agreement and the opposition said PiS was putting political gain ahead of public health. The election will now be rescheduled to a date "as soon as possible" and it will be a postal-only ballot. The timing of the election had plunged Poland into a serious political crisis on top of the ongoing health crisis, the BBC's Adam Easton in Warsaw reports.

Both international and Polish election observers had also raised concerns the ballot would not be sufficiently transparent nor fair given that candidates have suspended campaigning due to the lockdown, our correspondent says. Poland has nearly 15,000 confirmed infections and more than 700 deaths, according to America's Johns Hopkins University. The Covid-19 numbers are lower than in many Western European countries, but the Polish health minister has warned that cases have not yet peaked//BBC
