Hungary's center-right wins historic two-thirds mandate

None

Hungary's center-right Fidesz party won a two-thirds parliamentary majority in Sunday's election, giving the new government the power to enact reforms and boost the recession-hit economy.

 

With nearly all the votes counted, Fidesz, led by charismatic Viktor Orban, had won 263 seats, above the 258 needed for the two-thirds majority, ousting the Socialists after eight years in power. (Reuters)
