in parliamentary seats and prime ministership
Since 2010, Fidesz has been in electoral alliance with the Christian Democratic People's Party (KDNP). In the April 2026 parliamentary election, the center-right opposition Tisza (Respect and Freedom Party), led by Péter Magyar, handily defeated Viktor Orbán's Fidesz-KDNP coalition. Tisza won 137 out of 199 available seats (68.8%) , Fidesz-KDNP won 56 seats (28.1%), and Mi Hazánk (Our Homeland Movement) won 6 seats (3%). Orbán conceded defeat, with Magyar set to become Hungary's next prime minister.
In the 2024 election, Fidesz–KDNP won 10 of Hungary's 21 European Parliament seats and joined the Patriots for Europe (PfE). In 2019, Fidesz–KDNP held 13 of Hungary's European Parliament seats and was part of the European People's Party (EPP).

"Part of the picture of the decade of war facing us will be recurring waves of suicidal policy in the Western world. One such suicide attempt that I see is the great European population replacement programme, which seeks to replace the missing European Christian children with migrants, with adults arriving from other civilisations . . . It is in this situation that we must map out Hungary’s course; and once we have done so we must set the country on that course and keep it there with a steady hand."
