Hungarians head to the polls in a closely watched general election that could reshape the country’s political future. After 16 years in power, Prime Minister Viktor Orban is facing his strongest challenge yet from opposition leader Peter Magyar.
Recent opinion polls suggest Magyar’s Tisza party may be ahead, raising the possibility of a major political shift in Hungary.
