Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar recently offered the position of President to renowned chess grandmaster Judit Polgár. The 49-year-old Polgár, a non-politician, has declined the offer, according to the AFP. This nomination followed the decision of current President Tamás Sulyok to sign a constitutional amendment concluding his term. The amendment effectively ends Sulyok's presidency, creating the vacancy. Polgár’s rejection leaves the position open for another candidate to be nominated by the Prime Minister. Details regarding Polgár’s reasons for declining have not been publicly released.
