Surprising: Péter Magyar’s Tisza party ahead of PM Orbán in latest polls but won’t field candidates on next election

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”.

  1. HVG was the first to report the poll numbers and I may be mistaken but I believe they commissioned the poll. Telex reported that within minutes of the poll result being posted on HVG’s website it was taken down. Someone in the Fidesz government had to have picked up the phone to make threats to HVG. Hungarians exist in a world of heavy government control including censorship of all information critical of the government. Was any of this reported on television, newspapers, or radio? This is a Ceaucsecu style regime that controls everything but like for Ceaucsescu the end will come everntually because the people won’t take it anymore.

  2. Technical – with more to be GAINED on the up-side in the LONG run – to “Finish Off” – the Orban – Fidesz Government of Hungary – than being a NEGATIVE.
    SPOOK them – “Ping” them off – with Truth(s) and Fact(s) – the Orban – Fidesz “Pressurized” Government of Hungary.
    Pressurization mounts – that the IMPLODING of Fidesz just becomes of greater EVIDENCE.
    Hold back – wait, for even though THINGS are – going to WORSEN in Hungary pre 2026 – they, the Orban led Fidesz Government, will be witnessed as SELF Destructing.
    In the time – “spooking” them – an ARMOURY of Defence “catapulted” – back at Orban & the Fidesz Government, that MUST be Fact(s) and Truth(s) – will be witnessed progressive BLOOD letting HAPPENING inside within the Orban led Fidesz Government, the Fidesz Membership and the Oligarchy.
    The “Drums” beat louder as I commentate.
    Orban – the Fidesz Government of Hungary – we KNOW – they are the BLAMMERS of “others” – and this grows inside the Orban / Fidesz Government – that WILL result in being a Blood Bath – that BLAME – is the POWER word of usage.
    “Spook” the Orban – Fidesz Government, never LETTING them not aware of our PRESENCE – nor out of sight of even a shadow, that they KNOW – who are there OPPOSITION.

  3. If Hungary – from the increasing declining catastrophic Mess & CHAOS – we are in presently in, worsening, as I commentate, that Hungary is going to be Better Off – a LIFE Line – through the Trump victory in the U.S. A. – that’s an IDIOTIC thought process.
    Besides the Forint being OBIVIATION – just watch INFLATION – it will be HORRENDOUS, and the Orban led Fidesz Government have NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING – in there “bag of tricks” – to control and STOP it.
    Nothing is GOING to get – we KNOW this – we are experiencing it NOW – CHEAPER in Hungary.
