Overview
- Official results confirm Péter Magyar’s Tisza won 53.18% of the vote and 141 of 199 seats, enough for two‑thirds control of Parliament.
- A delegation from the incoming government met European Commission officials to seek the release of nearly €18 billion in frozen EU funds.
- Magyar says his first act will be a broad anti‑corruption drive to meet rule‑of‑law terms tied to the funds, including pandemic recovery money that requires agreed reforms before late August.
- He aims to be sworn in in early May during a weekend session, with a public event planned on Budapest’s Kossuth Square.
- Orbán’s Fidesz took 38.6% and 52 seats while far‑right Mi Hazánk won 5.6% and six seats, as European commentators cast Orbán’s defeat as a setback for the far right and a boost for the EU’s center‑right.
