US EditionPolls open in Hungary in a key election that could unseat Prime Minister Orbán
Record turnout and corruption concerns have put Péter Magyar’s Tisza party ahead in polls as voters weigh whether Orbán can extend his 16-year rule.
- Hungarians are voting in an election that could end Prime Minister Viktor Orban's 16-year rule and impact relations with the EU, Russia, and other international actors.
- Orban faces declining support due to economic stagnation and rising living costs, with the opposition Tisza party leading polls by 7-9 percentage points ahead of the parliamentary vote.

- Younger Hungarians express fears about their future amid economic struggles, with some planning to leave if Orban wins; opposition leader Peter Magyar promises change in response to public dissatisfaction.
