Two-thirds victory for the opposition in Jászberény
Opposition candidate Lóránt Budai won a huge victory in Sunday’s by-election in Jászberény, with the opposition alliance’s candidate winning in ten out of ten individual districts.
With a turnout of nearly 60% (59.75%), the right-wing mayoral candidate for Közösen Jászberényért received more than twice as many votes as Orsolya Besenyi, who was supported by Fidesz but called herself independent.
In all ten single-member constituencies, the candidate of the Joint Party for Jászberény won, with all opposition parties (Jobbik, MSZP, Momentum and the All Hungary Movement) except DK participating in the alliance.
In the newly constituted body of representatives, including the mayor, there will be 11 members of the Közösen Jászberényért association, while Fidesz-KDNP won four seats from the compensation list. The Mi Hazánk Mozgalom (Our Homeland Movement) did not make it into the board.
