Péter Magyar has won the elections in Hungary, marking a significant political shift in the country. Magyar, leader of the Tisza party, which is the main opposition force, secured victory following a day of unprecedented voter mobilisation.
Polling stations closed at 7pm, with turnout reaching record levels. By 6:30pm, participation had already climbed to 77.8%, surpassing the total turnout recorded in the 2022 elections, which stood at 69.5% by the end of the day. The high voter engagement reflected strong public interest in the outcome.
The result means that long-time Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has lost the election, ending his hold on power after years in government. The outcome signals a major shift in Hungary’s political landscape, with voters opting for change under Magyar’s leadership.
Further details on the full results and next steps are expected to emerge in the coming hours.
