Magyar's Majority Widens in Hungary

Magyar's Majority Widens in Hungary

The final tally from Hungary's historic election shows an even more decisive victory for Peter Magyar and the Tisza party than initially reported.

With 141 out of 199 seats, the incoming government holds a powerful supermajority to implement its promised reforms and restore the rule of law.

Magyar has already begun reaching out to European partners, including Poland's Donald Tusk, to repair relations with the EU. The defeat of Orban is being viewed as a significant turning point for European politics and a setback for the continent's far-right movement.
