[world politics news]
 

The final results of Hungary's parliamentary elections have been published, confirming a landslide victory of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's ruling Fidesz-KDNP coalition.

The Fidesz-KDNP coalition will take 135 of the 199 seats in Hungary's parliament, NVI informed on Saturday, after counting the last votes cast in the Parliamentary elections held on April 3.

The opposition alliance, consisting of the Democratic Coalition, Jobbik, LMP, Momentum Movement, Hungarian Socialist Party and Dialogue for Hungary, received 57 seats.

While some have said that Orbán's victory is a victory for Russia's Putin, due to Orbán's refusal to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine and his long-standing support for Putin, others have attributed the victory to purely national and local issues.
