Socialists’ co-leader will not seek post again

Bertalan Toth, the co-leader of the Socialists, will not seek his post again at a party congress in the autumn, the opposition politician said on Facebook on Sunday.

Party leaders assessed the results of the April 3 general election at a meeting on Saturday, Toth said.

Toth said he would support the Socialists’ shared work “as a team member”, heading the party’s parliamentary group after the autumn congress.

The Socialists must elect their leaders every two years, according to party rules. Toth was elected co-leader together with Agnes Kunhalmi at a congress in the autumn of 2020. Since 2018, he had held the post alone.
