Based on the latest poll shared by Medián, the opposition Tisza Party is ahead of PM Orbán’s Fidesz. However, they have decided not to field candidates in Hungary’s interim elections, party leader Péter Magyar said on Facebook on Wednesday.
According to the latest poll of Medián, the supporters of Péter Magyar’s Tisza Party won a majority in Hungary. Concerning the total number of eligible voters, Tisza gained 34% support, while Orbán’s Fidesz stands in second place with 32%. Additionally, only Mi Hazánk (Our Homeland), a Hungarian far-right party, could get parliamentary seats if the elections were held this Sunday.
Concerning those having a party preference, Tisza’s lead is even more significant with 43% against 39%. Finally, in the group of voters who promise to participate in the upcoming elections, Tisza garnered 46%, while Fidesz gained only 39% in the latest poll.
PM Viktor Orbán has not been defeated since the 2006 general elections. Furthermore, his Fidesz party has not fallen behind any parties in the polls since summer 2006.

Magyar’s Tisza not participating in interim elections
In his post, Magyar said “the government’s continuous rule by decree has rendered parliament’s role negligible, without any meaningful control by deputies over government decisions.” He said Tisza’s possible winning a mandate would not eliminate ruling Fidesz’s two-thirds majority in parliament, and a single Tisza representative “would not have any powers” in the assembly.
During the period of “hardly more than one year” before the next general election in Hungary “Tisza will not assist to a puppet show staged by Fidesz and the parliamentary opposition, which no longer has tangible support,” Magyar said.
He added that his party would focus on the 2026 spring election, enjoying the “backing of millions of Hungarians”.
