Hungary election shock: Peter Magyar defeats Viktor Orbán after 16 years in power

A historic political shift in Hungary as opposition leader Peter Magyar secures a landslide victory, ending Viktor Orbán’s 16-year rule. Celebrations erupted across Budapest as voters turned out in record numbers, signaling a major change in direction for the country. Magyar’s projected supermajority could allow sweeping constitutional reforms and a reset in relations with the European Union. The result is also seen as a geopolitical shift, potentially moving Hungary closer to Brussels and away from Moscow, while dealing a blow to allies of Donald Trump.
