Local elections – Results in major Hungarian cities
Change language:
Among others, Péter Márki-Zay has been reelected as the mayor of Hódmezővásárhely with all the votes counted, according to the National Election Office.
László Botka, reelected for the fifth time as the mayor of the city of Szeged in Sunday’s local elections — this time as a joint opposition candidate — said the community of the southern Hungarian city, the country’s third biggest, were the real winners.
Botka said he did not consider running the city to be a political task, adding that he intended to serve all the residents of Szeged.
Everyone should feel at home in the city, the Socialist politician added.
He said his first task would be to consult with all municipal representatives on how they conceive of working together.
Ruling Fidesz’s László Papp attributed his reelection as the mayor of eastern Hungary’s Debrecen on Sunday to “the serious, diligent work carried out over the past five years”.
“Another breakthrough victory has been achieved,” the mayor of Hungary’s second biggest city said, noting that Fidesz’s candidates had also won in all of the city’s individual electoral districts.
