Tisza Party secures two-thirds majority, set to enter Parliament with dominant mandate

With nearly all votes counted, the Tisza Party has secured 137 parliamentary seats—enough for a two-thirds majority—in Hungary’s new National Assembly. The Fidesz–KDNP alliance won 55 seats, while Mi Hazánk will be represented by 7 members in parliament.

According to near-final results, the composition of the National Assembly is expected to be as follows:

  • Tisza Party: 138 seats
  • Fidesz–KDNP: 54 seats
  • Mi Hazánk: 7 seats

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán addressed supporters at Budapest’s Bálna Budapest, evaluating his party’s election performance. He thanked attendees for their collective efforts and spoke about the challenges facing the outgoing governing alliance.

In his speech, Orbán stated that the election result was “clear and understandable,” adding: “For us, the outcome is painful, but unambiguous—the responsibility and opportunity to govern have not been entrusted to us.”

The prime minister said he had congratulated the winning party, expressed gratitude for the extensive campaign work, and emphasized that never before had so many people worked so hard in a single election campaign. “Even from opposition, we will continue to serve our homeland and the Hungarian nation,” he added.

Meanwhile, Péter Magyar, leader of the Tisza Party, declared a sweeping victory on Sunday evening at Budapest’s Batthyány Square. “The Tisza Party—and Hungary—has won this election, not by a little, but by a landslide,” he told supporters.

Speaking at the party’s election night event, Magyar said: “Together, we have dismantled the Orbán system, liberated Hungary, and reclaimed our country. This victory is visible not from the Moon, but from every Hungarian window—whether in the smallest rural home, a tower block apartment, a major city, or the countryside.”

He highlighted the historic scale of voter turnout, noting that never before in Hungary’s democratic history had so many people voted, nor had any party received such a strong mandate.

Approximately 3.3 million voters have granted what Magyar described as a “historic mandate” to govern. “A mandate to build a functioning and humane country for all of us,” he said.

He added that the Tisza Party not only won the election, but is also expected to hold a strong two-thirds majority in the new parliament—providing the authority needed to ensure a transition that is as efficient, peaceful, and smooth as possible.
