Hungary’s opposition Tisza Party has increased its lead over the ruling Fidesz party ahead of the 12 April parliamentary elections, according to a set of polls.
When translated into parliamentary seats, the 21 Research Institute calculated that if elections were held this Sunday, Tisza would secure a stable majority with 129 seats in the 199-seat National Assembly, while Fidesz would receive 64 seats and the far-right Our Homeland Movement six.
Medián said Tisza’s lead had widened since its previous survey, with the 23-point margin potentially sufficient to deliver a two-thirds parliamentary supermajority.
Medián also projected that, if elections were held this Sunday, only two parties — Fidesz and Tisza — would clear the threshold to enter parliament.
