Hungarian election rivals Orbán and Magyar make final push for votes on eve of poll

Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his election challenger Péter Magyar are holding final rallies on the eve of a pivotal poll. Sunday’s election will test Hungary’s political future, with Orbán facing a major challenge as Magyar's Tisza party leads in polls. If Tisza wins, it could end Orbán's 16-year rule. However, some expect a closer result, with Orbán's Fidesz party mobilizing rural support. Magyar has campaigned on issues like inflation and corruption, promising closer ties with the EU. Orbán has focused on external threats and his relationship with Donald Trump.
