Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is facing a stiff challenge in the upcoming election, with polls suggesting a strong lead for his opponent, Péter Magyar, the leader of a grassroots party. Despite the unfavorable odds, Orbán has been defiant in his stance, signaling a potentially contentious campaign ahead. With Orbán's Fidesz party having dominated Hungarian politics for over a decade, a change in leadership could have significant implications for the country's direction and its relationship with the European Union. As election day draws near, Orbán's refusal to concede ground is likely to make for a dramatic and closely watched contest.
Most polls favour Péter Magyar, who fronts a grassroots party, but PM Viktor Orbán has been in a defiant mood.
