Gergely Karacsony, opposition parties’ candidate, delivers a statement after being elected Mayor of Budapest, in Budapest, Hungary, October 13, 2019. ― Reuters picBUDAPEST, May 15 ― Budapest’s popular mayor said today that he would seek to lead an opposition alliance to oust Hungary’s nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban in next year’s general elections.
“At the end of a long process of thinking, I will run in the opposition pre-election as a prime minister candidate,” the 45-year-old said in a video posted on Facebook. The primary vote, organised by a six-party alliance of opposition parties, will be the first time that such a method is used to decide candidates for parliamentary elections in the country.
Last year the alliance, which includes usually bickering leftist, liberal and right-wing parties, said it would join forces to have a single candidate stand against Fidesz in all 106 electoral districts.
