1998 Hungarian parliamentary election

Horn Government

First Orbán Government Fidesz–FKGP–MDF Parliamentary elections were held in Hungary on 10 May 1998, with a second round of voting in 175 of the 176 single member constituencies on 24 May.

[1][2] Although the Hungarian Socialist Party received the most votes, the then-liberal conservative Fidesz won the most seats.

The successful breakthrough into parliament by the extreme right-wing Hungarian Justice and Life Party was also a major shock.

After the election, Fidesz formed a centre-right coalition government with the Independent Smallholders Party and Hungarian Democratic Forum.
