What Happened
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban faces his most difficult election in 16 years on Sunday. Polls show opposition leader Peter Magyar's Tisza party ahead of Orban's Fidesz party. Around eight million voters will decide between stability and change. Voter frustration centers on healthcare, medication costs, and corruption allegations. Magyar, a 45-year-old lawyer, promises to restore EU ties and return $18 billion in frozen funds. Electoral system complexities make outcomes uncertain.
