Armenia`s Prime Minister  congratulates Peter Magyar on winning  parliamentary elections  in Hungary

ArmInfo. RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has congratulated Peter Magyar on his victory in the parliamentary elections in Hungary.

"Extend my cordial congratulations to Peter Magyar and the Hungarian  people on the occasion of the victory in the Hungarian elections.  These democratic elections reflect the will of the Hungarian people  and the future  vision of the country," the head of the Armenian  government wrote on X.

It should be noted that following the April 12 elections in Hungary,  Peter Magyar's opposition Tisza Party not only won but is also on  track to secure a constitutional majority in parliament. After 16  years in power, Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his Fidesz party have  already conceded defeat and promised to continue their work in  opposition.

Hungary's parliamentary elections were held using both party lists  and single-member constituencies. After nearly 99% of the ballots  were counted, the Tisza party received 138 of the 199 seats, meaning  it will likely have a constitutional majority in parliament. The  ruling Fidesz party of incumbent Prime Minister Viktor Orban received  55 seats, while the far-right Our Fatherland (Mi Hazank) party won  another six. To enter parliament, parties in Hungary must overcome a  5% threshold. According to Hungarian law, the final vote count must  be completed no later than Saturday, April 18.

Without waiting for the final vote count, Viktor Orban announced that  he had already congratulated Magyar on his victory. He said the  election results were clear, calling them painful, and added that  Fidesz would serve Hungary in opposition.
