Orban faces tough competition in decisive vote

Hungarians are voting in a crucial parliamentary election on Sunday.

At stake is the future of longtime Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has led the country of 9.5 million people since 2010.

Orban faces the biggest political test of his career from Peter Magyar’s centre-right Tisza party, which has a clear lead over Orban’s Fidesz in the polls.

Polling stations open at 6 am local time (0400 GMT/UTC) and close at 7 pm. About 8 million Hungarians are eligible to vote on Sunday.
