Orbán Ousted in Hungarian Election

In a seismic shift for Central European politics, Viktor Orbán’s long tenure as Hungary's nationalist leader has come to an abrupt end.

The upstart Tisza party, spearheaded by Péter Magyar, secured a decisive mandate that will allow the new government to dismantle many of the previous administration's controversial laws.

High voter turnout across the country signaled a widespread desire for change and a pivot toward pro-European Union policies.

This result is expected to redefine Hungary's relationships with the EU, Russia, and the United States under the Trump administration.
