In a closely watched general election, Viktor Orban (former Prime Minister of Hungary) conceded defeat after 16 years in power, signaling a major political shift in the country. Peter Magyar, leader of the opposition Tisza Party, is set to become the new Prime Minister after his party won 138 seats in the 199-member parliament, securing a two-thirds majority with 53.6% of the vote. Orban's Fidesz Party received 55 seats with 37.9% of the votes. Magyar, speaking to supporters along the River Danube in Budapest, described the victory as a “miracle” and emphasized the need to restore democratic checks and balances. The election results have been celebrated by thousands of jubilant supporters, marking a clear shift towards liberal democracy. Orban's defeat is seen as a setback for nationalist leaders worldwide, including Donald Trump, and removes a key ally of Vladimir Putin within the European Union. European leaders, including Ursula von der Leyen, welcomed the outcome, highlighting Hungary's choice for a stronger European alignment. Despite the victory, Magyar faces challenges in managing institutions shaped by Orban's rule and has promised to tackle corruption and unite the country.
