Prime minister has been trailing in the polls to Péter Magyar in race that could have repercussions for Europe, the US and Russia

Tisza lead widens as close to quarter of votes counted

Of course, the numbers got updated just as I was typing the last post. Of course.

We are now at 21.54%, so getting close to a quarter of all votes, and Tisza is currently projected to get 128 seats – just short of the 133 needed for the 2/3 majority – to Fidesz’s 62 and Mi Hazank’s 8.

    Opposition leader Péter Magyar says he’s had a call from Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, in which he conceded.

    His man rival Péter Magyar wrote on Facebook: “Viktor Orbán just called me on the phone and congraulated us on our victory.”

    It would mean an end to 16 years of Orbán rule.
