BUDAPEST – The center-right Tisza party appears positioned to claim control of Hungary’s parliament with 135 seats out of 199 total, according to the final polling data released before Sunday’s national election.
The Median polling organization’s survey, which was broadcast on RTL Klub television, shows the opposition party outpacing Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s ruling Fidesz party. The poll was conducted from April 7 through April 11, just days before voters head to the ballot box.
The survey results also indicate that the far-right Our Homeland party, known as Mi Hazank in Hungarian, would fail to reach the required 5% vote share needed to secure seats in the national legislature.
