Viktor Orban, former Hungarian Prime Minister, has resigned his seat in Parliament. Orban said he is leaving to focus on rebuilding the far-right, Russia-aligned Fidesz-KDNP party after it secured only 55 seats in Hungary's parliament in elections on April 12. Peter Magyar's Tisza party won 138 of the parliament's 199 seats, ending 16 years of Orban running the country. Magyar will take over as prime minister on May 9 and can undo some of Orban's actions due to Tisza's two-thirds majority. Orban plans to remain in charge of Fidesz and will seek re-election in June. Orban stated that he is needed for the organization of the patriotic movement, not in Parliament.
