Magyar's opposition Tisza party wins constitutional majority in Hungarian parliament

The Hungarian opposition Tisza party, led by Peter Magyar, will form a constitutional majority and control more than two-thirds of the votes in parliament following election results.

According to preliminary data from the National Election Commission of Hungary after counting 98.42% of the ballots, three political forces enter parliament. The opposition Tisza party receives 53.5% of the vote. The current ruling Fidesz party gains 37.8%, while the far-right pro-Russia Mi Hazank has 5.8%.

Meanwhile, percentages do not translate into parliamentary mandates proportionally, as Hungary operates under a complex mixed system where the majority of deputies are elected in single-member constituencies, alongside a redistribution of votes from districts to national lists.

Ballot counts indicate that Tisza receives a guaranteed constitutional majority. Specifically, according to current data, Tisza will receive 138 mandates, the Fidesz faction will have 55 deputies, and Mi Hazank will have 6.

To form a constitutional majority, 133 votes are sufficient.
