Orban Ousted as Hungary Elects Peter Magyar in Watershed Political Shift

Hungary’s Viktor Orban, a polarizing figure in European politics, has been unseated after over a decade of rule, as his nationalist Fidesz-KDNP alliance suffered a seismic electoral defeat. Opposition leader Peter Magyar and his Tisza party emerged victorious, securing 138 seats in the 199-member parliament—a two-thirds supermajority that will allow them to reshape the country’s political landscape. This development shatters the notion of Orban’s invulnerability in Hungarian democratic elections
