Prime Minister Viktor Orban's ruling Fidesz party has secured a leading position with 43.7% of the vote in Hungary's European Parliament and municipal elections. Despite this, the party has seen its weakest support in decades, losing ground and two seats compared to 2019 elections. The opposition, particularly the Tisza party, has surged, taking nearly 30% of the vote. This marks the worst proportional result for Fidesz since the early 2000s, with early results showing a significant drop in support. Orban, a prominent national-populist, has ruled out holding early parliamentary elections despite the surprisingly strong showing by a new rival.
