Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on April 12 conceded defeat in the country’s elections.
The Associated Press notes Péter Magyar’s center-right Tisza party is significantly ahead of Orbán’s Fidesz-KDNP coalition.
Orbán had been in office since 2010. He and his government have faced widespread criticism over its anti-LGBTQ crackdown.
Sunday’s elections took place less than a week after Vice President JD Vance traveled to Budapest, the Hungarian capital, and urged Hungarians to support Orbán.
