DW News Apr 12, 2026 Hungarian opposition leader Peter Magyar is set to form the next government in Budapest after incumbent Prime Minister Viktor Orban conceded defeat in an historic election. Early official results showed his Tisza party leading across the country. Orban described the result as “painful” and confirmed he had congratulated his rival. The outcome could reshape Hungary’s relationship with the European Union and NATO, and has major implications for Ukraine, where Orban had repeatedly blocked EU support. His defeat also sends shockwaves through right-wing political movements globally, including allies of US President Donald Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin. Magyar campaigned on tackling corruption and restoring democratic institutions, while promising to repair ties with European partners.
