Hungary’s former PM Orban re-elected party leader despite election loss

Viktor Orbán Re-Elected As Fidesz Party Leader In Hungary Despite Election Loss

Orbán re-elected Fidesz leader with 729/737 votes despite the party losing government to Tisza in April after 16 years in power. Fidesz support collapses from 39% to 17% in two months; the defeat signals a European shift away from the "illiberal" governance model Orbán championed.
