Prime Minister Viktor Orban's dominant right-wing Fidesz party suffered large losses in Sunday's local elections in Hungary.

Opposition candidates won the mayoral race in Budapest, the capital, and were also projected to win in 10 of the country's 23 largest cities. In 2014, the opposition won just three of those races.

With 90.5% of the votes counted, Karacsony had 50.8%, compared to 44.2% for incumbent Istvan Tarlos, who called to congratulate his rival. Karacsony also lauded the close co-operation between several of the opposition parties, which he said was the only way forward if they wanted to win the 2022 parliamentary elections.

The prime minister emphasized his party's success in rural areas, acknowledged losing the capital and said Tarlos would become his adviser. Analysts expected him and his party to continue with their combative style, which includes strong anti-migrant policies, increasing domination of the media and a centralized power structure built around the prime minister's sprawling office.
