Hungary's Orban concedes landmark defeat to centre-right opposition
"A Tisza victory could open the way for reforms that the party says would aim to combat corruption and restore the independence of the judiciary and other institutions."
Preliminary election results show the pro-EU Tisza party leading with a two-thirds majority in parliament, ahead of Orban's Fidesz party. High voter turnout was reported, with 77.8% participation. If confirmed, Orban's defeat could end Hungary's adversarial EU stance, potentially unlocking financial aid for Ukraine and releasing suspended EU funds. Tisza's victory may lead to reforms aimed at combating corruption and restoring judicial independence, contingent on securing a constitutional majority to reverse Orban's policies.
