Hungarians vote in a parliamentary election on Sunday with polls giving the edge to incumbent Prime Minister Viktor Orban. But for the first time in its 12 years in power, the ruling Fidesz party will face a united opposition coalition led by Peter Marki-Zay.
The 49-year-old opposition leader rose to prominence by defeating Fidesz to become mayor of Hodmezovasarhely, and has had the tough task of leading a coalition of parties ranging from the right-wing Jobbik to liberals, greens and social democrats.
