“I congratulate Peter Magyar on his election victory. Facing such a strong opponent as Viktor Orban has never been easy, and yet he has won the trust of the majority of Hungarians and raises great expectations and hopes. He cannot disappoint,” wrote the chairman of the ANO party on the X website.
“I respect the election results and look forward to our cooperation, because relations between Hungary and the Czech Republic are closely linked, and I will always cooperate constructively with whoever the voters choose,” he declared.
Babisz is a political ally of Orban. The parties of both politicians, ANO and Fidesz, in the European Parliament are part of the far-right Patriots for Europe faction. Before the elections in Hungary, Babisz supported Orban.

According to the results calculated on the basis of almost 99 percent. After counting the votes in Hungary, TISZA Magyar's party can count on 138 seats in the 199-seat Hungarian parliament. The Fidesz-KDNP coalition led by Orban received 55 seats. The far-right Mi Hazank party will also enter parliament and can count on six seats.
