Róbert Sasvári, the National Election Committee’s (NVB) head, said after the recount that Karácsony (Párbeszéd-Greens-DK-Socialists) notched up 371,538 votes, Dávid Vitézy (Dávid Vitézy for Budapest-LMP-Greens) received 371,245, with a difference between the two candidates of 293 votes.
“There are three Hungarian truths: we won first time round, we won a second time, and on Friday we won a third time,” the Budapest mayor said on Facebook after the result was declared. He said the outcome of the recount gave him a good reason “to say once again: thank you, Budapest!”.
Meanwhile, Dávid Vitézy, the mayor’s rival for the post, said on Facebook: “The election is over but our work is just beginning.” He congratulated Karácsony and also expressed gratitude for the support and encouragement during the campaign and “the dogged work of volunteers and my colleagues”.

DEMOCRACY – not FUCKED with – supported, embraced – it WORKS.
Congratulations again – Major Karacsony.
Credit to YOU making mention “recommending a “re-count” – that it be rightly undertaken as we are “supposed” – which we know FACTUALLY is “crap” – a country Governed under Democracy.
It’s a VERY very very HOT Mayoral Chair you sit.
Democracy is DIALOGUE.
Re-fresh the Mayoral Image – MARKETING plan – PROMOTE it with new and deeper penetrative INVITATION emphasis of wanting, inviting and PROMISES to LISTEN ;
(1) the wants and needs of ALL citizens – individually.
(2) decisions made out of the Mayoral Office / Chamber “in council(s)” – they be totally and rationally FOCUSED on what is BEST for all citizens – Hungary, the Districts of Budapest.
LISTEN – invite Dialogue dialogue dialogue – LISTEN.
