Opposition leader Péter Magyar seems confident of victory, following the results that so far show the Tisza party winning the general elections that took place in Hungary this Sunday.

In a short but meaningful message on the social network Facebook, Magyar writes: "Thank you Hungary."

The opposition Tisza party is likely to secure a 2/3 majority, initial results show after almost half of the votes have been counted.

With almost half of all votes counted (45.71%), the opposition Tisza party is now on track to take 135 seats – the much-needed 2/3 majority – in the new 199-seat parliament.

Viktor Orbán's Fidesz has fallen to 57th place, and the far-right Mi Hazank to 7th.
