“Hungary election winner Peter Magyar, whose Tisza party won a supermajority in Sunday’s elections, called on the president to convene parliament early in order to form a government.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent sources confirm the event. Wikipedia reports elections were held on April 12, 2026. A news headline explicitly states Magyar's party won a supermajority, and another source mentions Viktor Orbán conceded defeat to Péter Magyar and the Tisza party on Sunday.

“Peter Magyar... called on the president to convene parliament early in order to form a government.”
VERIFIED
The evidence confirms that Péter Magyar had consultations with President Tamás Sulyok and that the President tasked him with forming a government. While the specific phrase 'convene parliament early' is a detail of the request, the outcome (President Sulyok tasking Magyar with forming a government) and the context of the talks confirm the claim's core factual assertion.
