Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a key European ally of US President Donald Trump known for his pro-Russia and Eurosceptic stance, has conceded defeat in the election. Preliminary vote-counting results released by Hungary's National Election Office on Sunday (12th) local time showed that the Tisza Party, led by Peter Magyar, won the parliamentary election held that day. Initial statistics indicated that about 77.8% of the approximately 8.1 million eligible voters cast ballots, marking a record-high turnout. The New York Times reported that the outcome of Hungarys election could have implications far beyond its borders. The new prime minister may alter the course of the Ukraine war. Orban has long been at odds with European Union officials in Brussels. He has consistently obstructed EU aid to Ukraine, sought to weaken sanctions against Russia, and portrayed Ukraine as a major threat to European security. Based on the count of 96.37% of ballots, the Tisza Party secured 53.69% of the vote and is projected to win 138 of the 199 parliamentary seats, surpassing the two-thirds threshold. The ruling alliance led by Prime Minister Viktor Orban (Fidesz and the Christian Democratic Peoples Party) received 37.72% of the vote and is expected to obtain 55 seats. The far-right Our Homeland Movement won 5.9% of the vote and is projected to take 6 seats. Other participating parties failed to meet the 5% threshold required to enter parliament. Peter Magyar stated that Hungary will once again become a steadfast ally of the European Union and NATO. Under Hungarian election law, parliamentary elections are held every four years. The parliament has a total of 199 seats, of which 106 are filled through direct elections in individual constituencies, while the remaining 93 seats are allocated among parties that enter parliament.
