Hungarian opposition leader Péter Magyar says the country's president has assured him that his new government could take power in the first week of May.
This would mark the end of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's 16-year reign.
Magyar's center-right Tisza party won a landslide victory on Sunday, securing a two-thirds parliamentary majority.
By Hungarian law, the new parliament must elect a prime minister by May 12.
After meeting with President Tamás Sulyok, Magyar says he will be nominated for prime minister.
He plans to overhaul Hungary's government structure and create new ministries for health, environmental protection, and education.
