The ruling Fidesz party to nominate Áder for Hungarian president
Budapest, December 22 (MTI) – The ruling Fidesz party will nominate János Áder as Hungary’s head of state for another five-year term, national daily Magyar Idők said, citing Lajos Kósa, the party’s deputy leader and head of the parliamentary group, on Thursday.
“It is a matter of consensus that Ader, whose mandate will expire next May, should be the candidate of Fidesz for the post,” Kósa told the paper after a two-day session of the party board in Dobogókő, near Budapest.
Prime Minister and Fidesz leader Viktor Orbán said last week that he greatly appreciated President Áder’s efforts, and his continuing in the post was “among the important possibilities if he himself wishes to do so”.
Áder has been in office as president since May 2012.
The paper noted that Human Resources Minister Zoltán Balog had also been named as a possible presidential candidate in some media outlets.
