Hungary’s April 12, 2025, parliamentary elections see Orbán seek a fifth victory against rival Péter Magyar, with polls predicting change but results uncertain.
Campaign Timeline
Official campaigning in Hungary began less than two weeks ago, though unofficial efforts have persisted for nearly two years. On January 13, the President scheduled the elections for April 12, one week after Easter.
Rivalry Dynamics
Viktor Orbán aims for his fourth consecutive and fifth overall victory. His main opponent, Péter Magyar, spent almost his entire political life in Fidesz before defecting. Both candidates express confidence in their own chances.
