The claim
“Péter Magyar's Tisza party won a two-thirds supermajority in Hungary's election, giving it power to amend the constitution.”
Coverage after final results of Hungary's 12 April 2026 election.
Our verdict
True
Tisza won 141 of 199 seats, just over two-thirds, which in Hungary is enough to change the constitution.
What we found
Final results gave Tisza 141 seats, 70.9% of parliament. Hungary's Fundamental Law can be amended by a two-thirds vote of MPs, so Tisza can change the constitution on its own. Whether it reverses Orbán's policies is a matter of future choices, not fact.
