Budapest, June 28 (MTI) – The small opposition LMP party has officially accepted the candidacy of Ákos Hadházy, the party’s anti-corruption spokesman, to replace Andras Schiffer as co-leader, daily Magyar Idők said on Tuesday.

Schiffer resigned from the post at the end of May and will return his mandate as lawmaker on August 31.
