Hungarians vote in pivotal election

The election is widely seen as a referendum on Orbán's 'illiberal democracy' and his close ties to the Kremlin.

Recent polling suggests a major political shift could be on the horizon, with Magyar's party leading in several key districts.

The campaign has been marked by high-profile international endorsements, including from President Donald Trump, who has urged Hungarians to support Orbán.

An opposition victory would have profound implications for the European Union's unity and its ongoing support for Ukraine.
