Hungary's opposition Tisza party, led by Peter Magyar, announced Sunday that Prime Minister Viktor Orban has conceded defeat in the nation's parliamentary elections. Partial results indicate Magyar's party is projected to secure a two-thirds majority in the 199-seat parliament.

Magyar stated on social media that Prime Minister Orban contacted him to congratulate Tisza on their victory. The results show Tisza leading Fidesz, ending Orban's 16-year premiership.
The election was closely observed across Europe and the United States, with Orban, a nationalist leader, maintaining close ties with figures like former US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The outcome signals a significant shift in Hungarian politics.
