Hungary has elected a new Prime Minister, with Peter Magyar's centre-right Tisza party securing a supermajority in the 199-seat parliament. The result marks a significant shift away from the populist era of outgoing Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who had led the country for 16 years.
Hungary voted for a new Prime Minister on April 12. The centre-right Tisza party won 138 seats with 53.6% of the vote, while Orbán's Fidesz took 55 seats with 37.8%. This is a significant shift away from Orbán's populist era. Magyar's party campaigned relentlessly, activating previously apathetic voters. The high turnout of 77.8% was a key factor in the result. Magyar now has a supermajority to reverse Orbán's policies.
