Hungarian election winner Péter Magyar has unveiled the first lineup of his incoming government’s Cabinet, naming nominees for key posts including foreign affairs, finance, and economy following the initial meeting of his party’s parliamentary group.
Magyar and his center-right Tisza Party secured a sweeping victory over Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in the April 12 election, winning a two-thirds parliamentary majority that positions them to roll back many of Orbán’s policies from his 16 years in power. The result gives Tisza 141 seats in the 199-member legislature, the largest majority in Hungary’s post-communist history, while Orbán’s Fidesz party dropped to 52 seats from 135.
Magyar has pledged to rebuild democratic institutions, strengthen the rule of law, and pursue accountability for what he describes as entrenched corruption under the outgoing government. Speaking at a Budapest news conference, he also announced plans to expand the number of ministries from 12 to 16 as part of a broader government restructuring.
Among the nominees announced were Anita Orbán for foreign affairs, István Kapitány for economy and energy, and András Kármán for finance. Magyar said the new administration would aim to form a government “worthy of the Hungarian people’s trust,” and confirmed plans to create separate ministries for health, education, and environmental protection.
The newly elected parliament is expected to hold its inaugural session on May 9 or 10, after which it will vote to select the next prime minister. Cabinet confirmations are expected to follow shortly afterward.
