Early official results showed his Tisza party leading across the country. Orban described the result as &#8220;painful&#8221; and confirmed he had congratulated his rival. The outcome could reshape Hungary&#8217;s relationship with the European Union and NATO, and has major implications for Ukraine, where Orban had repeatedly blocked EU support. His defeat also sends shockwaves through right-wing political movements globally, including allies of US President Donald Trump and Russia&#8217;s Vladimir Putin. Magyar campaigned on tackling corruption and restoring democratic institutions, while promising to repair ties with European partners.
