Vote to oust Warsaw mayor fails due to low turnout

WARSAW, Poland (AP) An attempt to oust the mayor of Poland's capital has failed because not enough people turned out to vote.

The Sunday referendum was called by a member of the opposition nationalist Law and Justice party.

The State Electoral Commission said Monday the vote to oust Mayor Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz, a member of the ruling Civic Platform, was invalid because only 25.7 percent of voters showed up. A minimum required was 29 percent.
