Hungary election live: Polls in Hungary close in tightly fought election after 16 years under Viktor Orbán

Tisza lead widens as close to quarter of votes counted

Of course, the numbers got updated just as I was typing the last post. Of course.

We are now at 21.54%, so getting close to a quarter of all votes, and Tisza is currently projected to get 128 seats – just short of the 133 needed for the 2/3 majority – to Fidesz’s 62 and Mi Hazank’s 8.

Opposition leader Péter Magyar says he's had a call from Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, in which he conceded. 

His man rival Péter Magyar wrote on Facebook: "Viktor Orbán just called me on the phone and congraulated us on our victory."

It would mean an end to 16 years of Orbán rule.

Hopefully Tisza gets majority if for no other reason than to fix Orban's fucked up electoral math.

Would they? Didn't they splinter from the same party? They seem better, but what gives you faith they would reduce their power like that?

there are 199 seats and so 2/3 supermajority is 133 seats. tisza has 136 now at 60%ish polling stations counted

at 45% polling stations (?) in, Tisza has 135 seats, which is more than supermajority, and results from bigger cities where opposition has greater support still are not yet counted. if mi hazank drops under 5% threshold, their lead will be greater. lowkey expecting that orban is looking for plane tickets to moscow rn

update: at 72% stations in, Tisza has 138 seats

46% counted and Magyar/Tisza are forecast to have 135 seats out of 199, which gives them a super majority

I hope this means they're able to reverse a bunch of the press consolidation and constitutional changes that kept Orbán in power for so long, and change the constitution so that no party in power can so easily do what Fidesz did.

Genuinely just wishing that Orban will win, these Soros open society guys will ruin the country along side with EU

At least not above the baseline self-hatred that makes them fascist to begin with
