Hungary’s President sets April 3 as date for 2022 general election
The We For News reported that Hungary’s President Janos Ader has set April 3 as the date for the country’s 2022 general election.
In the previous election held in 2018, Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s Fidesz party and its coalition partner Christian Democratic People’s Party (KDNP) won 49.27 per cent of the vote, which translated into 133 seats in the country’s 199-seat unicameral Parliament.
The country’s six major opposition parties — the Democratic Coalition (DK), Jobbik, LMP — Hungary’s Green Party, Momentum Movement, Hungarian Socialist Party and Dialogue for Hungary — have decided to unite before the election to maximise their chances to win.
Xinhua news agency reported that the opposition alliance held primary elections in October 2021 to pick Orban’s challenger.
