Parliamentary elections were held in [[Hungary]] on 8 April 2018. The elections were the second since the adoption of a new [[Constitution of Hungary|constitution]], which came into force on 1 January 2012. The result was a victory for the [[Fidesz]]–[[Christian Democratic People's Party (Hungary)|KDNP]] alliance, preserving its two-thirds majority, with [[Viktor Orbán]] remaining Prime Minister. Orbán and Fidesz campaigned primarily on the issues of immigration and foreign meddling, and the election was seen as a victory for [[right-wing populism]] in Europe.<ref name="OrbanReuters"/><ref name="OrbanEUobserver"/><ref name="MurphyKheraToI"/>

==Background==
At the previous parliamentary election, in April 2014, the incumbent government — composed of [[Fidesz]] and its satellite ally the [[Christian Democratic People's Party (Hungary)|KDNP]] — was able to achieve a two-thirds majority for the second consecutive time with 44.87 percent of the votes. According to their critics, this overwhelming proportion was only because of the new election law (mostly due to the introduction of compensation votes also for the individual winners) which was adopted by the ruling coalition in 2011.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://24.hu/belfold/2014/04/15/igy-csinalt-a-fidesz-ketharmadot-az-egyszeru-tobbsegbol/ |title=Így csinált a Fidesz kétharmadot az egyszerű többségből |access-date=25 January 2016|date=15 April 2014 |publisher=24.hu |language=hu}}</ref> In early 2015, however, Fidesz lost its two-thirds majority following the [[2014 Hungarian Internet tax protests]] and subsequent decrease in support for the government.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Spirk |first=József |title=Példátlanul nagyot zuhant a Fidesz és Orbán népszerűsége |language=hu |publisher=[[Index (Hungarian website)|Index]] |date=10 December 2014 |url=http://index.hu/belfold/2014/12/10/peldatlan_nagyot_zuhant_a_fidesz_nepszerusege/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141211081711/http://index.hu/belfold/2014/12/10/peldatlan_nagyot_zuhant_a_fidesz_nepszerusege/?token=0b77069ba9c9d470243155d767d99843 |archive-date=11 December 2014 |url-status = live|df=dmy}}</ref> The governing party suffered defeats at two parliamentary by-elections in February and April 2015, both in [[Veszprém County]].<ref name="The Wall Street Journal">{{cite news|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/hungarys-ruling-party-loses-two-thirds-majority-after-by-election-1424634646|title=Hungary's Ruling Party Loses Two-Thirds Majority after By-Election|newspaper=The Wall Street Journal|access-date=22 February 2015}}</ref><ref name="Index.hu">{{cite news|last1=Dull|first1=Szabolcs|title=Győzött a Jobbik a tapolcai választáson|url=http://index.hu/belfold/2015/04/12/idokozi_valasztas_ajka_sumeg_tapolca_parlament/|access-date=12 April 2015|publisher=Index.hu}}</ref>

The left-wing electoral alliance [[Unity (Hungary)|Unity]], which failed to win the 2014 national election after its five constituent parties gained a total of only 38 seats, broke up shortly thereafter. Its former member parties ([[Hungarian Socialist Party|MSZP]], [[Together (Hungary)|Együtt]]–[[Dialogue for Hungary|PM]] and [[Democratic Coalition (Hungary)|DK]]) participated in the [[2014 European Parliament election in Hungary|May 2014 European Parliament election]] individually, while the [[Hungarian Liberal Party|MLP]] did not participate in the election at all. Due to this fragmentation of the left-wing opposition, the radical nationalist [[Jobbik]] became the second largest party in a nationwide election for the first time since its establishment.<ref>{{cite web |access-date=27 May 2014|url=http://index.hu/kulfold/ep/2014/05/26/kezdodik_az_mszp_vegjateka/|title=Kezdődik az MSZP végjátéka|date=26 May 2014}}</ref> The PM broke off the permanent nature of its alliance with Együtt on 9 November 2014.<ref>{{cite web|access-date=9 November 2014|url=http://index.hu/belfold/2014/11/09/megszunt_az_egyutt-pm_szovetseg/|title=Megszűnt az Együtt-PM szövetség|date=9 November 2014}}</ref>

On 13 December 2015, the 26th congress of the ruling Fidesz re-elected Viktor Orbán as party leader. Orbán said in his speech that he was ready to lead the party into the forthcoming parliamentary election and to continue to serve as prime minister if Fidesz won re-election in 2018. With that statement, Orbán made clear that he did not intend to become [[List of heads of state of Hungary|President of Hungary]] in succession to [[János Áder]] during the 2017 indirect presidential election.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://index.hu/belfold/2015/12/13/fidesz_tisztujito_kongresszus_eu/ |title=Orbán ráfordult a 2018-as kampányra |access-date=15 December 2015|date=13 December 2015 |publisher=[[Index.hu]] |language=hu}}</ref>

On 2 October 2017, the elected leader of the MSZP, [[László Botka]], announced his withdrawal, saying that he thought some of the Hungarian opposition did not care about changing government.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://index.hu/belfold/2017/10/02/botka_laszlo_kiszallt_lemondott_a_miniszterelnok-jeloltsegrol/|title=Botka László kiszállt: lemondott a miniszterelnök-jelöltségről|last=Szabolcs|first=Dull|access-date=2 October 2017|language=hu}}</ref>

Orbán and Fidesz's strength going into the election came into question when the party unexpectedly lost a mayoral by-election in [[Hódmezővásárhely]], considered a Fidesz stronghold, on 25 February 2018, to an independent candidate supported by every opposition party.<ref>{{cite news |title=Hungary PM's Fidesz Party Suffers Surprise Setback at Local By-Election |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-hungary-election/hungary-pms-fidesz-party-suffers-surprise-setback-at-local-by-election-idUSKCN1G90X5 |date=25 February 2018 |work=Reuters |access-date=13 April 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Hungary: Surprise Defeat for Viktor Orbán in Bellwether Byelection |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/feb/26/hungary-surprise-defeat-for-viktor-orban-in-bellwether-by-election |date=25 February 2018 |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |access-date=13 April 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Eder |first1=Marton |last2=Lovas |first2=Gabriella |title=Orban's Weak Spot Exposed in Shock Loss Before Hungary's Election | url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-25/orban-party-suffers-shock-loss-in-stronghold-before-hungary-vote | date=25 February 2018 |publisher=[[Bloomberg News]] |access-date=13 April 2018}}</ref> Election observers and critics of Orbán speculated whether Hungary's opposition parties could create a similar alliance on the national level,<ref>{{cite web|author=PALKO KARASZ|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/26/world/europe/hungary-viktor-orban-opposition.html |title=Hungary's Opposition Sees Hope After Orban's Candidate Falls - The New York Times |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=26 February 2018 |access-date=15 April 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Verseck |first1=Keno |title=Can Hungary's Opposition Unite to Defeat Viktor Orban? |url=http://p.dw.com/p/2tNVp | date=27 February 2018 |publisher=[[Deutsche Welle]] |access-date=13 April 2018}}</ref> though the opposition parties had been unable to create a common strategy by late March 2018.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Simon |first1=Zoltan |title=Hungarian Opposition Negotiations Falter in Boost to Orban | url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-20/highway-huddle-fails-to-unite-hungarian-opposition-against-orban |date=20 March 2018 |publisher=[[Bloomberg News]] |access-date=13 April 2018}}</ref> Orbán increased his efforts as a result of this loss.<ref>{{cite news |title=Hungarian PM Steps Up Anti-Immigrant Campaign After By-Election Loss |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-hungary-election-orban/hungarian-pm-steps-up-anti-immigrant-campaign-after-by-election-loss-idUSKCN1GE101 |date=2 March 2018 |work=Reuters |access-date=13 April 2018}}</ref>

==Electoral system==
{{Main articles|Electoral system of Hungary}}
The 199 members of the [[National Assembly (Hungary)|National Assembly]] were to be elected by two methods; 106 would be elected in single-member constituencies by [[first-past-the-post voting]], with the remaining 93 elected from a single nationwide constituency mostly by [[proportional representation]], via a [[Scorporo|partially compensatory system]] (a hybrid of [[parallel voting]] and the [[mixed single vote]]). The electoral threshold was set at 5%, although this was raised to 10% for coalitions of two parties and 15% for coalitions of three or more parties. Seats were to be allocated using the [[d'Hondt method]].<ref>[http://www.ipu.org/parline-e/reports/2141_B.htm Electoral system] IPU</ref>

Since 2014, each of the Armenian, Bulgarian, Croatian, German, Greek, Polish, Romani, Romanian, Rusyn, Serbian, Slovakian, Slovenian, and Ukrainian ethnic minorities can win one of the 93 party lists seats if they register as a specific lists and reach a lowered quota of <math>\frac{1}{4 \times 93}=\frac{1}{372}\approx0.2688\%</math> of the total of party list votes.<ref>[http://www.valasztas.hu/web/national-election-office/parliamentary-elections-2018 Nemzeti Választási Iroda] National Election Office</ref>

===Electoral conduct===
A preliminary report on the election by the [[Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe]] (OSCE) criticised the electoral conduct and stated that Fidesz used government resources for its election campaign.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Santora |first1=Marc |last2=Bienvenu |first2=Helene |title=Hungary Election Was Free but Not Entirely Fair, Observers Say |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/09/world/europe/hungary-election-orban-fidesz.html |date=9 April 2018 |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |access-date=12 April 2018}}</ref> A spokesman described campaigning language as "quite hostile and xenophobic".<ref name=Guardian_OSCE /> The report criticised the atmosphere as limiting wide-ranging debate and found that public television broadcasts were biased towards the governing coalition. It also criticised the use of "information campaigns" funded out of public money, which it stated generated "a pervasive overlap between state and ruling party resources, undermining contestants' ability to compete on an equal basis".<ref name=Guardian_OSCE>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/09/hungary-election-osce-monitors-deliver-damning-verdict |title=Hungary election: OSCE monitors deliver damning verdict |author=Shaun Walker, Daniel Boffey |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |date=9 April 2018 |access-date=10 April 2018}}</ref>

==Government formation==
{{Main|Fourth Orbán Government}}
On 12 April 2018, cabinet member [[Antal Rogán]] announced [[TV2 (Hungary)|TV2]] that "there will be a new government formed, mostly with new members and a new structure", in line with the government's new priorities, including demography and family policy and migrant issue.<ref>{{cite news|title=Rogán: Semmi nem marad úgy, ahogy eddig volt|url=https://index.hu/belfold/2018/valasztas/2018/04/12/rogan_semmi_nem_marad_ugy_ahogy_eddig_volt/|access-date=27 April 2018|publisher=[[Index (Hungarian website)|Index]]}}</ref> On 20 April, Orbán said "I would say that people not voted for the continuation of the work of the present government, but they want no change in the service of the goals". There he announced the replacement of [[János Lázár]] as Minister of the Prime Minister's Office, one of the most influential members of his former cabinets, and confirmed [[Mihály Varga]] will remain minister responsible for economy. He called solving demographic problems as the government's most important task.<ref>{{cite news|title=Orbán mást akar Lázár helyett, és megvédte a Soros-listát|url=https://index.hu/belfold/2018/04/20/orban_viktor_interju_aprilis_20_kozradio/|access-date=27 April 2018|publisher=[[Index (Hungarian website)|Index]]}}</ref> On 23 April, [[Zoltán Balog (politician)|Zoltán Balog]] announced, he will step down as Minister of Human Resources, disagreeing with the prime minister over structural considerations, who intended to keep the type of superministry system.
