Viktor Orbán announces he will leave parliament following election defeat to Péter Magyar
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced he will not take his parliamentary seat after his Fidesz party was defeated by Péter Magyar's Tisza party in elections held on 12 April. Orbán, who has held a parliamentary seat since 1990, said he is needed to lead the reorganization of the national movement rather than serve in parliament. Fidesz dropped from 135 to 52 seats while Tisza won more than a two-thirds majority in the 199-seat parliament.
