According to the results of the April 12 parliamentary elections, the Tisza Party led by Péter Mádár will receive 138 seats in Hungary’s 199-seat parliament, securing a constitutional majority, according to international media and regional sources.

The previously ruling Fidesz-KDNP coalition will receive 55 seats, while Mi Hazánk becomes the third-largest force with 6 seats. Thus, the new parliament will effectively consist of three parliamentary groups, while a number of smaller parties failed to clear the electoral threshold.

A constitutional majority in Hungary traditionally means the ability to pass decisions requiring 2-3-thirds of the deputies’ votes, including amendments to fundamental laws. In this configuration, Tisza formally does not need coalition partners to form a government.

Mátyás’s campaign was built around the themes of changing the political model, fighting corruption, and restoring relations with the EU. In public speeches, he used phrases such as “Ennek a rendszernek vége van” (“This system is over”), and also spoke of a “regime change” and returning the country to a more pro-European trajectory. Reuters reports that among the stated priorities are strengthening the rule of law and anti-corruption measures, including alignment with European standards and an attempt to unblock frozen EU funds.

Separately, the name TISZA has become established in Hungarian political symbolism, interpreted as “Respect” and “Freedom” (Tisztelet and Szabadság).
