5:54Now PlayingPoland's new parliament elected centrist party leader Donald Tusk as prime minister on Monday. Tusk becomes prime minister nearly two months after national elections won by a coalition of parties ranging from left-wing to moderately conservative.
The alliance of pro-EU parties signed an agreement last month, paving the way for a coalition government.
Earlier on Monday, the parliament rejected the proposed conservative government of acting Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, a widely expected outcome that paved the way for the rival alliance to form the next government.
Only 190 deputies voted in favor of the Morawiecki government, while 266 voted against it and there were no abstentions.
Morawiecki's Law and Justice (PiS) party lost its majority but retained its status as the largest single party in October's elections.
Morawiecki's failure opens the door for former Polish Prime Minister and former European Council President Donald Tusk.
Tusk led a broad pro-EU opposition coalition in a bid to unseat PiS after two terms in power.
