The winner of the Hungarian elections, Peter Magyar, has called on parliament to convene to form a new government 'as soon as possible', expressing hope that he can take over as prime minister from Viktor Orbán by May 5. Magyar, at a press conference on Monday following his party's landslide victory on Sunday, said he and his party 'Fidesz' had received an 'unprecedented mandate'. Magyar added: 'The Hungarian people did not vote just to change the government, but to change the entire system'. Magyar pointed out that this large majority will allow the 'Fidesz' party to launch an ambitious program and carry out wide-ranging reforms.
