Viktor Orbán ousted in Hungary

Voters turned out in record numbers to hand Péter Magyar's Tisza party a projected two-thirds supermajority in parliament, ending nearly two decades of nationalist rule.

Orbán, a key ally of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, admitted the result was 'painful' but clear as he prepares to lead the opposition.

The victory is expected to fundamentally reshape Hungary's relationship with the European Union and NATO. International leaders have hailed the result as a historic moment for European democracy and a rejection of autocracy.
