Orbán Relinquishes Seat in Hungary’s Parliament

April 25, 2026

In the parliamentary election on April 12, Péter Magyar’s Tisza party achieved a supermajority by winning 141 out of 199 seats in the Hungarian national assembly. Orbán’s Fidesz party came second with 52 seats.

Orbán announced that Gergely Gulyás, overseer of the Prime Minister’s Office, will lead the Fidesz parliamentary group.

Orbán has been a parliamentary member since 1990 and has led Fidesz throughout. He has been Hungary’s prime minister since 2010.

Magyar is anticipated to be appointed prime minister by parliament in early May. The Tisza party’s supermajority could expedite the approval of democratic reforms needed to access €17 billion of EU funds frozen due to rule-of-law issues during Orbán’s leadership.
