Peter Magyar, the former Orban ally vying for power in Hungary

Magyar represents the biggest threat to Viktor Orban's rule in Hungary since he won the first of four consecutive victories in 2010.

European leaders are frustrated and largely powerless in dealing with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has blocked a €90 billion EU loan to Ukraine and is seen as too close to the Kremlin. With Hungary's parliamentary elections approaching, many hope opposition candidate Peter Magyar will win, but the outcome remains uncertain.

Hungary's centre-right Tisza party, led by former government insider Peter Magyar, has widened its lead over Prime Minister Viktor Orban's ruling Fidesz ahead of the April 12 parliamentary election. However, a large share of voters remain undecided, making the outcome uncertain.

A group of young activists in Hungary is campaigning door-to-door in support of opposition leader Peter Magyar, whose Tisza party poses a significant challenge to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's 16-year rule ahead of the April 12 parliamentary election.

Opposition leader Peter Magyar has urged an investigation into alleged abuses of state power against his Tisza party, following claims of government-directed raids and intelligence operations amid an election where his party poses a significant challenge to Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

As Hungary prepares for its April 12 election, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán faces his toughest challenge in 16 years, with opposition leader Péter Magyar's Tisza Party leading in many polls amid youthful discontent and economic frustrations.
