POLITICO’s Poll of Polls shows Hungary’s opposition Tisza Party, led by Péter Magyar, leading with 49 percent support, ahead of Orbán’s ruling Fidesz party at 37 percent.
Magyar is making a strong push in the election by campaigning on pledges to strengthen judicial independence, combat corruption and give voters a clear alternative to Fidesz.
Orbán is a key disruptor in the EU, frequently clashing with Brussels and other European capitals on support for Ukraine, LGBTQ+ rights and Russia sanctions.
