EP elections – Fidesz expected to win with 56% of vote – POLL
Hungary’s ruling Fidesz-KDNP alliance is expected to be the winner of the European Parliament election, capturing 56 percent of votes cast, according to a phone survey conducted by pollster Nézőpont on Sunday.
The survey had the Socialist Party and the Democratic Coalition in a dead heat for second place at 10 percent each, Nézőpont Institute head Ágoston Sámuel Mraz told public current affairs channel M1.
Nationalist Jobbik is expected to perform worse than five years ago, winning just 9 percent, he added.
The survey had the liberal Momentum Movement at 7 percent, while LMP is expected to miss the threshold for European parliamentary representation with 4 percent of the vote.
Mraz hailed Sunday’s high turnout as “historic”.
By 6.30pm on Sunday, 41.74 percent of eligible voters had cast their ballots.
