"Peter Magyar, Orban's former ally, is set to lead Hungary with a focus on moving away from Russian influence and strengthening connections with the European Union."
"The defeat of Orban raises critical questions about the future of Hungary's foreign relations, particularly regarding Washington's stance after its public backing of Orban's government."
"Magyar's leadership will be closely watched to see if he can implement the reforms he has promised and how this will affect Europe's support for Ukraine."
Hungary's far-right Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his Fidesz party have been defeated after 16 years in power. Peter Magyar, Orban's former ally, will now lead the country.

The outcome raises questions about Washington's response, given its previous support for Orban, and the potential for improved relations between Budapest and Brussels. Magyar faces challenges in implementing promised reforms and influencing Europe's support for Ukraine.
