Coalition partner quits Polish government -agency

WARSAW, July 9 (Reuters) Poland's Self-Defence party has decided to leave the ruling coalition after its leader was sacked by Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the Polish news agency PAP said today.

Kaczynski dismissed his deputy Andrzej Lepper earlier on Monday over a corruption investigation but said Lepper's leftist Self-Defence party was welcome to remain in the government.
