Background

The 2026 Hungarian election resulted in a landslide victory for the Tisza Party, led by Péter Magyar, with it winning 141 of the 199 seats in the legislature, enough to amend the Constitution of Hungary.[1] Magyar was subsequently tasked with forming a government to be appointed on 9 May.[2] The Fidesz–KDNP alliance was reduced to 52 seats, while Our Homeland Movement remained at 6 seats. All the other opposition parties failed to win any seats; having either stood down in favor of Tisza, or gotten well below the 5% electoral threshold required to win seats.[3]

On 25 April 2026, Viktor Orbán and Zsolt Semjén announced they would not take up their seats in parliament, and instead have Gergely Gulyás and Bence Rétvári serve as group leader of Fidesz and Christian Democratic People's Party.[4][5]

On 9 May 2026, the inaugural session of the National Assembly was held, and Magyar took office as Prime Minister of Hungary.[6] The Magyar Government was officially sworn three days later and start to work on the next day.[7]

Electoral system

The 199 members of the National Assembly are elected by mixed-member majoritarian representation; 106 elected in single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting, while the other 93 elected from nationwide party lists by modified proportional representation. The electoral threshold is set at 5% for single party lists, 10% for joint lists of two parties and 15% for joint lists of three or more parties. Since 2014, each of the Armenian, Bulgarian, Croatian, German, Greek, Polish, Romani, Romanian, Rusyn, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, and Ukrainian ethnic minorities can win one of the 93 party lists seats if they register as a specific list and reach a lowered quota of of the sum of party list votes and unused constituency votes of parties passing the electoral threshold, together with the votes cast for national minority lists.[8] Each minority is able to send a minority spokesman – without the rights of an MP – to the National Assembly, if the list does not reach this lowered quota.[9][10][11] Fractional votes, calculated as all the votes of individual candidates not elected (but associated with a party list over the threshold), as well as surplus votes cast for successful candidates (margin of victory minus 1 vote), are added to the direct lists votes of the respective parties or alliances. Seats are then allocated using the D'Hondt method.[12]
