Hungarian Tisza party leader calls on Hungary’s president to step down

Peter Magyar, leader of Hungary’s opposition Tisza party that won the parliamentary elections, has called on the country’s leadership, including President Tamas Sulyok, to resign.

Speaking at a rally in Budapest, he also urged Prime Minister Viktor Orban not to make any decisions in the final days of his time in office.

 Preliminary election results, based on more than 98% of votes counted, put his Tisza party on course for an extraordinary 138 seats, with Orbán's Fidesz on 55 and the far-right Our Homeland on six.
