Péter Magyar ends Orbán’s 16-year rule in landslide, becomes Hungary’s new prime minister

Péter Magyar ended Viktor Orbán’s 16-year grip on power with a landslide victory Sunday and became Hungary’s new prime minister, election results showed.

The result marked a dramatic shift in Hungarian politics, according to the election authorities.

Magyar had been a loyalist to Orbán earlier in his career, and he emerged as an opposition leader in 2024, news reports said.

Officials and media accounts described the outcome as a decisive rejection of the long-ruling leader, setting the stage for a new government under Magyar.
