Hungary's outgoing Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, has resigned following a landslide election loss in which voters overwhelmingly voted for a center-right challenger, Péter Magyar, who won a two-thirds majority in parliament to undo many of Orbán's policies. This announcement comes after a 16-year tenure as Prime Minister of Hungary, following a period of uncertainty over his future in politics. In a video posted to Facebook, Orbán stated that he would not take his seat in parliament but instead focus on rebuilding his nationalist-populist political community.
