Péter Magyar's Tisza Party captured a supermajority in Hungary's April 12 parliamentary election, decisively defeating Viktor Orbán's Fidesz and prompting Orbán's concession after 16 years in power, driving trader consensus to price Magyar at 99.6% to become the next prime minister. Final vote tallies confirmed Tisza's commanding hold on the 199-seat National Assembly, enabling swift government formation. With the inaugural parliamentary session required by May 12, President Tamás Sulyok is set to nominate Magyar, whose recent Brussels meetings with Ursula von der Leyen signal thawed EU ties and impending release of frozen funds. Barring extraordinary legal challenges to results, health events, or parliamentary disruptions, this outcome appears locked in.
