Hungary's election is nearing its conclusion as challenger Péter Magyar attempts to unseat Viktor Orbán, who has been in power for 16 years. Magyar held a rally in Debrecen, while Orbán addressed supporters in Budapest. Tens of thousands attended an anti-Fidesz concert in Budapest's Heroes' Square on Friday. Magyar, a former Fidesz insider, has become a focal point for widespread public anger against Orbán's rule. Orbán's campaign received support from US Vice-President JD Vance and a pledge from former President Donald Trump to strengthen Hungary's economy if Orbán wins. The election outcome remains uncertain as both leaders make a final push for votes.
