Outgoing Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban announced Saturday that he will not take a seat in parliament following his party’s decisive election loss, opting instead to focus on rebuilding his political movement.

Hungary’s April 12 election ended Orbán’s 16-year tenure, with voters delivering a landslide victory to opposition leader Peter Magyar and his Tisza party. The result handed the incoming government a two-thirds parliamentary majority, giving it the power to reverse many of Orbán-era policies.

In a video posted to social media, Orbán said his party would undergo a “radical transformation” in the wake of the defeat and signaled a shift in his role away from legislative politics.

“Our task now is not in parliament,” he said, emphasizing the need to reorganize what he described as the country’s “national side.”

Orbán’s announcement clarifies his immediate political future after weeks of uncertainty, as Hungary enters a new phase under its incoming leadership.
