Recent polls indicate that Hungary's center-right Tisza party, led by Péter Magyar, is expanding its lead over Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's Fidesz party ahead of the April 12 parliamentary elections, though a significant portion of voters remain undecided.

A youthful movement is challenging Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s 16-year rule ahead of the April 12 elections, with the center-right Tisza party—led by 45-year-old Péter Magyar—gaining popularity, especially among younger voters.

The article describes Hungary's 2026 parliamentary election as the world’s first “post-reality” campaign, characterized by extreme disinformation, deepfake videos, and fear-mongering, with incumbent Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his ruling Fidesz party deploying AI-generated content and social media propaganda to spread false narratives about Ukraine and smear opposition leader Péter Magyar.

Two weeks before the election, Tisza has gained ground within the margin of error, widening its lead over Fidesz-KDNP. Péter Magyar’s party leads Fidesz-KDNP by 6 percentage points among the general population, with the score at 37-31. Among party voters and definite party voters, Tisza leads by 9 percentage points, with the score at 49-40 in both groups.
