Opposition Tisza could win two-thirds majority in Hungary's parliament
A poll by Medián, a Hungarian polling company, suggests that the opposition Tisza party, led by Péter Magyar, could win 138-143 seats in Hungary's National Assembly in the parliamentary elections.
As reported by HVG, according to the company's estimates, Tisza could secure 138-143 seats, giving it a comfortable two-thirds majority, while Fidesz, led by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, could win 49-55 seats. Medián also suggests that the Mi Hazánk (Our Homeland) party is likely to enter parliament, with an estimated 5-6 seats.
The pollsters stressed that these figures are estimates, as final results can only be determined within a certain range.
In the last week of February and throughout March, Medián conducted five representative telephone surveys using three different call centres, with a total sample of 5,000 respondents.
According to the results, 48% of eligible voters plan to vote for Tisza, 30% for Fidesz, 4% for Our Homeland, 2% for the Democratic Coalition, and 1% for the Hungarian Two-Tailed Dog Party. Another 15% were undecided, unwilling to answer, or said they would not vote.
Hungary's parliamentary elections are scheduled for 12 April.
Other polls have also shown that the gap between Tisza and Fidesz continues to widen ahead of the elections.
