Election Night Insight: Tisza Party Reveals Details of Danube-Side Event in Budapest

• Hungary Around the Clock

The Tisza Party will host its main election-night event in Batthyány tér and along the nearby Danube riverbank, directly across from the Parliament building, the party announced.

The location marks a shift from previous events. During the 2024 European Parliament elections, the party initially planned its gathering near the Várkert Bazár before relocating to the Buda-side embankment at the Petőfi Bridge.

Fidesz has also traditionally chosen Danube-side venues for election night, in recent years gathering at the Bálna on the Pest side.

The ruling party has not yet announced where it will hold its event this year.
