2026 Hungarian parliamentary election

Sunday, April 12, 2026 – April 13, 2026 All day

Parliamentary elections were held in Hungary on 12 April 2026 to elect all 199 members of the National Assembly. It was the 10th parliamentary election and the highest-turnout election since Hungary's transition to democracy in 1990. The incumbent Fidesz–KDNP government of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was defeated in a landslide by the opposition Tisza Party, led by MEP and former Fidesz member Péter Magyar, ending the 16-year Orbán era. The Tisza Party won 141 seats out of the 199 in the National Assembly, enough for a two-thirds supermajority, the legislative threshold to amend the Fundamental Law. In so doing, Tisza won both the largest number of votes and the largest percentage of seats that a Hungarian political party has ever won in a free election.
