Poland could hold polls in autumn or next year-PM

WARSAW, July 9 (Reuters) Poland could hold early elections in autumn or early next year, Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski said today.

''It is not clear if elections would be held in early autumn, late autumn or early next year,'' Kaczynski told a news conference.

Kaczynski sacked his deputy Andrzej Lepper earlier on Monday over a corruption investigation. Lepper's party, the leftist Self-Defence, said it would quit the cabinet.
