Viktor Orbán loses Hungarian parliamentary election after 16 years in power
Hungarian voters ousted Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on April 12, 2026, ending his 16-year rule in a high-turnout election. Péter Magyar of the opposition Tisza party defeated Orbán's Fidesz party with approximately 53% of the vote. The election was closely watched internationally due to Orbán's role as a Trump ally and his influence on global populist movements.
