Parliamentary elections were held in Hungary on 3 April 2022 to elect the National Assembly, coinciding with a referendum.[1][2] Hungary's incumbent prime minister Viktor Orbán won re-election to a fourth term. Addressing his supporters after the partial results showed Fidesz leading by a wide margin, Orbán said: "We won a victory so big that you can see it from the moon, and you can certainly see it from Brussels."[3] Opposition leader Péter Márki-Zay admitted defeat shortly after Orbán's speech.[4] Reuters described it as a "crushing victory".[5]

With 54.13% of the popular vote, Fidesz received the highest vote share by any party since the Fall of Communism in 1989. The election had been predicted to be closer than in previous years but Fidesz still held a 5–6 percentage point lead in the polls leading up to the vote.[6] OSCE deployed a full monitoring mission for the vote.[7] The results showed that Fidesz outperformed polls, winning its first absolute majority of the vote share since 2010 while expanding its supermajority to control 135 seats of the 199-seat Parliament, comfortably ahead of the opposition alliance United for Hungary, which was set to win 57 seats after 100% of the votes had been counted.[8] The Mi Hazánk party won seats for the first time, obtaining 6 seats.[9]

Internationally, the election was seen as a victory for right-wing populism with Orbán being an ally of former US President Donald Trump and other right-wing figures.[10]
