Orban hands over his post in parliament: I am needed for the reorganization of

Hungary's outgoing nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban announced he would hand over his seat in Parliament following the devastating defeat of his Fidesz-KDNP coalition after 16 years in power.

"Since the seat I won as the head of the ballot for the Fidesz-KDNP platform is actually a parliamentary seat for Fidesz, I have decided to hand it over. At this time, I do not need parliament, but the reorganization of the national camp," Orban said in a video message posted on Facebook.

His defeat was sealed on April 12, when Peter Magyar won the election, ending Orban's 16-year rule and marking a major political shift in Hungary.
