Budapest turns into party zone after historic election

Parliamentary elections were held in Hungary on 12 April 2026 to elect all 199 members of the National Assembly. It was the 10th parliamentary election since 1990, with a record-high turnout for the first time since 2002. The opposition Tisza Party, led by former Fidesz member and MEP Péter Magyar, won the election in a landslide, defeating the incumbent Fidesz–KDNP government of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, ending the 16-year Orbán era. In so doing, Tisza won a two-thirds supermajority, and with it the power to amend the Constitution of Hungary. (Wikipedia)
