Landmark Hungarian Election: Orbán Fights for 5th Term
Hungarians head to the polls in a pivotal election that could end Viktor Orbán's 12-year reign as Prime Minister. The outcome may reshape Europe's political landscape.
Hungarian voters are heading to the polls in a crucial election that will determine whether Prime Minister Viktor Orbán secures a historic fifth consecutive term in office. The embattled leader, who has consolidated power and clashed with the European Union, is facing his toughest challenge yet from a united opposition alliance.
With over 8 million Hungarians eligible to cast their ballots, the outcome of this election could have far-reaching implications not just for Hungary, but for the broader geopolitical landscape in Europe. Orbán, a close ally of former U.S. President Donald Trump, has wielded significant influence in the region, aligning himself with other right-wing populist movements.
