BUDAPEST, April 18 (Xinhua) -- Peter Magyar, leader of Hungary's Tisza Party, hailed the near-final result of the 2026 parliamentary election in a Facebook post on Saturday, calling it "an unprecedented majority" and "an unprecedented mandate," while also describing it as "a great responsibility."

His post came after the National Election Office counted 99.99 percent of the votes. According to the near-final results, the Tisza Party received 53.18 percent of the vote and won 141 of the 199 seats in parliament.

The ruling coalition of Fidesz and the Christian Democratic People's Party (KDNP), led by Prime Minister Viktor Orban, received 38.60 percent of the vote, securing 52 seats. The far-right Our Homeland Movement received 5.63 percent, representing six seats.

According to Hungary's leading local news portal Telex, some mail-in ballots are still being processed, but they are not expected to significantly affect the final results. ■
