“Hungary’s opposition Tisza party has won the parliamentary election, securing 138 out of 199 seats in the National Assembly (unicameral parliament) and a constitutional majority for the next four years, the National Election Commission said.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results project that the Tisza Party, led by Péter Magyar, won a significant majority of seats (e.g., 138 out of 199, or over 130 mandates), indicating a super-majority. One source specifically mentions the projection of 138 seats and a super-majority capability. The Wikipedia entries confirm the election context (199 seats, 2026 election date mentioned in context).

“The exact date will be set by President Tamas Sulyok.”
SINGLE SOURCE
Web search results mention that President Tamás Sulyok will hold consultations with party leaders after the results are announced, indicating he manages the timeline. However, none of the provided evidence specifies that he *will* set the exact date for the election of the prime minister, only that he will consult after the vote. The evidence suggests he is involved in the process, but not that he controls the final scheduling of the PM election date.
