Hungary's Tisza party, led by Péter Magyar, has secured a constitutional majority in the parliamentary election, defeating the ruling Fidesz party led by Viktor Orbán. With 98.94% of votes counted, Tisza has 137 seats, Fidesz has 56, and the extremist Mi Hazánk has six. The final result is expected on Saturday, with Tisza potentially gaining more seats as votes from abroad and re-registered voters are counted. Tisza's victory marks a significant change in Hungarian politics, with all 137 MPs being newcomers and no previous ties to opposition or governing parties. The existing opposition parties, including the Socialist MSZP, liberal Momentum, and green LMP, are expected to disappear from public life. The change will cost the Hungarian state 1.35 billion forints in severance payments to outgoing MPs.
