MPs who won seats in Parliament from a party or nationality list in the April 3 election received their credentials on Wednesday from András Téglási, Chair of the National Election Commission. Viktor Orbán, who headed the joint Fidesz-KDNP party list, was the first to receive his official papers.
The parliamentary election was finalized last Saturday, with the Fidesz-KDNP coalition winning 48 seats from their joint party list, the six-party (Democratic Coalition, Jobbik, LMP, Momentum, MSZP, and Dialogue) opposition coalition winning 38 party list seats, and Our Homeland winning 6 seats from their party list. Hungary’s German nationality also won a single seat in Parliament. [HVG]
