Viktor Orbán, leader of Fidesz, is expected to take office as Prime Minister. Fidesz , the conservative Hungarian party, has won a two-thirds majority in parliament , according to official results. The incumbent Socialists placed a distant second, obtaining 59 seats, while the far-right Jobbik took 47 seats. A new Green party, called Politics Can Be Different , received sixteen seats, and an independent candidate took the remaining seat.

Hungarian prime-minister elect and leader of Fidesz Viktor Orban commented on his victory in a speech in front of supporters in the capital of Budapest, saying: "We saw a revolution in the polling stations. Fidesz Hungarian Civic Alliance and the Christian Democrat Party have gained 68 per cent of mandates in parliament."
