In Budapest, thousands gathered along the Danube and near Parliament as early results confirmed victory for Magyar’s Tisza party.
Celebrations continued late into the night in districts across the capital, with music, car horns and crowds filling central areas. Similar scenes were reported in other major cities as results were announced. Many participants described a mix of relief and surprise after a close and highly polarised campaign that featured frequent accusations of foreign interference and strong external interest from the EU and the United States.
