Analysis Summary
Viktor Orbán announced he is giving up his parliamentary seat after his party Fidesz suffered a devastating election loss on April 12, dropping from 135 seats to 52 in a 199-seat parliament. Péter Magyar's Tisza party won a supermajority, paving the way to reverse Orbán's 16-year rule including reversing changes to education, health, and the judiciary while tackling corruption. Orbán says he'll remain Fidesz leader to rebuild the party, with his fate as party chief to be decided at a June conference.
