Viktor Orban was overwhelmingly re-elected as president of Hungary’s Fidesz party on Saturday, following a significant defeat in April’s parliamentary elections to the Tisza party. The vote took place at the first Fidesz congress since the electoral setback. Despite the loss, which ended his 12-year premiership expected to conclude in May 2026, Orban, 63, retained strong support from party delegates. This outcome signals continued influence within the party despite the shift in national governance. The election result marked a notable challenge to Orban’s long-held political dominance in Hungary. The congress served as a platform for Fidesz to regroup and strategize following the loss of its majority.
