Mi Hazank demands recount of votes

“As soon as votes from beyond the borders were being counted, however, the percentage result of Mi Hazank started falling rapidly and the number of fractional votes added to the [ruling] Fidesz party list also increased because of a change in the winner of an individual constituency,” he said.

Mi Hazank lost its seventh mandate based on only 48 votes going to Fidesz, and thus the ruling party has a secure two-thirds majority in the new parliament, he added.

“Considering that a bag full of partially destroyed voting slips have been found in Targu Mures (Marosvasarhely) clearly showing votes submitted to Mi Hazank, and the fact that voting slips in Vojvodina were delivered without proof of receipt by activists of VMSZ, a party with close links to Fidesz”, Mi Hazank refuses to accept the current situation until a review is completed, he said.

Toroczkai said the party would propose recounting the votes and submit a demand for legal remedy.

All votes counted, Fidesz wins two-thirds majority

With all votes cast in the April 3 general election counted, the non-final result has been declared in all the 106 individual constituencies.

Accordingly, the ruling Fidesz-Christian Democrat alliance will have a two-thirds majority in Hungary’s new 199-member parliament.

The Fidesz-KDNP alliance triumphed in 87 constituencies, and the united opposition in 19 ones, National Election Office (NVI) figures show.

With their national party lists, Fidesz-KDNP secured 48 mandates, the united opposition 38 and the Mi Hazank Movement six ones.

The National Self-government of Germans in Hungary has got a preferential mandate.

The ruling alliance will have altogether 135 seats, the united opposition 57 seats and Mi Hazank Movement six seats in the new National Assembly.

In the countryside Fidesz-KDNP triumphed in 86 out of 88 constituencies while the united opposition won 17 of the 18 mandates in Budapest.
