Hungary’s long-serving nationalist leader Viktor Orbán was defeated in Sunday’s general election by the emerging center-right Tisza party, ending his 16-year rule. According to Reuters, the result marks a major setback for allies of Orbán and former U.S. President Donald Trump. The 62-year-old leader had been influential among conservatives in Europe and the United States, but his popularity declined amid economic stagnation, international isolation, and corruption allegations.
Led by 45-year-old Péter Magyar, the Tisza party secured a strong majority in the 199-seat parliament, with nearly all votes counted indicating 138 seats. Magyar said the victory would set Hungary on a new political path, enabling anti-corruption efforts and constitutional reform. Orbán conceded defeat, calling the result painful but clear, while many of his supporters were seen in tears during his televised address.
Analysts suggest the outcome could shift the European Union’s policy balance, potentially easing approval of major aid for Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky congratulated Magyar, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Hungary had chosen Europe.
