Fekete-Győr reelected as head of Momentum Movement

The delegates’ assembly of the Momentum Movement on Sunday reelected András Fekete-Győr as its leader for a two-year term, the party told MTI.

Fekete-Győr garnered over 50 percent already in the first round of the vote, it said.

After the vote, Fekete-Győr said that Momentum had won over nearly 200,000 voters over the past year.

At the April 8 election, the party, which was founded in 2015, won over 3 percent of the ballots. This result “indicates that there is a huge demand for a new political generation in Hungary,” Fekete-Győr said, adding that

there is still much to do but “we are heading in the right direction and have the enthusiasm needed.”

For that matter, the Momentum Movement, a civil group that initiated a referendum on Budapest’s bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics, voted to become a political party in 2017 and run in the 2018 general election.
