Orbán ousted in Hungarian landslide

In a historic election with record-high turnout, Hungarian voters have overwhelmingly rejected the long-serving Viktor Orbán in favor of his former ally, Peter Magyar.

Magyar's center-right Tisza Party secured a projected constitutional supermajority, promising to dismantle systemic corruption and restore the rule of law.

The defeat of Orbán, a key ally of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, is expected to unblock billions in frozen European Union funding and reshape regional security dynamics.

Celebrations erupted in Budapest as the opposition leader declared a new chapter for the nation's democracy and its place within Europe.
