Péter Magyar’s Tisza Party may gain new MP seats: supermajority set to grow

Péter Magyar’s Tisza Party may acquire new MP seats since the counting of the votes cast by Hungarian citizens having an address in Hungary but living abroad has just started. There are multiple constituencies where the difference between the Tisza and Fidesz candidates is well below the number of votes to be counted.

Péter Magyar’s parliamentary group will grow

According to ATV, there are at least three constituencies in Hungary where the Tisza candidate may win. As a result, the number of Tisza MPs may increase in the Hungarian Parliament.

Currently, the number of Tisza candidates winning constituencies stands at 92, while Fidesz is in first place in only 14 constituencies.

However, there are at least four constituencies (Tolna 03, Tolna 02, Szabolcs 06, Zala 02) where the difference between the Fidesz candidate and the Tisza candidate is below 500 votes. Since the number of votes yet to be counted is above 2,000 in each, all those Fidesz leads may disappear. Consequently, Tisza’s supermajority may increase from 136 MPs to 140 MPs, a historic majority in the Hungarian National Assembly exceeding even a 70% majority.

Hungarians working, studying abroad angry with Orbán

That is because the vast majority of Hungarians living abroad but having a Hungarian address (so they were not born abroad) are opposition supporters. They are those Hungarians who had to leave their country due to financial reasons, ideological problems or – in some cases – just to live together and marry their loved ones (same-sex marriage is not possible in Hungary).

According to the National Election Office (NVI), the vote counting will finish on Saturday. That is when the final results of the Sunday election will be announced.

The new parliament will consist of three parties: Péter Magyar’s Tisza, Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz and the right-radical Our Homeland (Mi Hazánk) Party.

Tisza’s supermajority means that they can write a new constitution, replace any officials, including the President of Hungary, or introduce a totally different voting system.
