With all votes cast in the April 12 general election counted, the Tisza Party will have 141 representatives in Hungary's 199-seat parliament, giving the party a comfortable two-thirds majority with 70.85 percent, data from the National Election Office released late Saturday show.
The Tisza Party will organise a major national event on Kossuth Square in front of Parliament to mark the inaugural session of the new National Assembly, party leader and prime minister-elect Peter Magyar announced in Budapest on Friday.
In his first public comments since the Hungarian elections, Donald Trump addressed the defeat of his long-time ally, Viktor Orbán. Speaking with the Italian daily Corriere della Sera two days after the results, the U.S. President offered a mix of praise for Orbán’s past leadership while notably shifting his tone to the past tense.
Hungary's incoming Tisza government will retain all effective existing policies, as outlined in its 240-page platform, Peter Magyar, the party's leader, said in an interview to public media on Wednesday.
