Hungarian voters delivered a decisive victory to Péter Magyar's Respect and Freedom Party (Tisza), ousting Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his party, Fidesz. With a record turnout of over 5.9 million voters, Tisza secured 138 out of 199 seats, crossing the two-thirds threshold needed to amend the constitution. Orbán's 16-year rule ended due to economic stagnation, inflation, and declining public services, which eroded public trust. Magyar's campaign capitalized on frustration with corruption and stagnating living standards. The election result marks a structural rupture in the system Orbán built over the past decade and a half. Tisza's victory is seen as a desire for normalcy and a shift away from constant hysteria towards a government focus on everyday issues.
