Hungary PM Orban declares victory as ruling party projected to take 67% of parliament seats
Viktor Orban has claimed a decisive victory and is set for a third term as Hungarian prime minister, after preliminary results showed the Fidesz party taking an overwhelming majority of least 133 seats in the 199-seat parliament.
“We have won… Hungary has won a great victory,” Orban told a crowd of cheering supporters at a Sunday night rally, who responded by spontaneously singing the country’s national anthem.
Fidesz predicted to have constitutional 2/3 majority in Parliament again. Jobbik will be the strongest opposition party. Socialists, Democratic Coalition and LMP will also enter Parliament. pic.twitter.com/yBO4hqfVOO
