Hungarian Opposition Poised to Win Supermajority in Election

The party of opposition leader Peter Magyar is set to win Hungary’s parliamentary election with a two-thirds majority, an important threshold that would enable him to dismantle Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s nationalist project.

Magyar’s Tisza party was on course to win 68% compared with 29% for Orban’s Fidesz, according to the Election Office in Budapest on Sunday with 46% of the votes counted.
