They won 53% of the vote to put an end to his party's 16 years of continuous rule, and ended up with 141 seats in the 199-seat National Assembly.

Orbán's Fidesz have slumped from 135 to 52 seats.

The count was finalised on Saturday - including recounts in closely tied constituencies, and votes cast abroad.

Magyar has won a pledge from President Tamás Sulyok to bring forward the formation of the new parliament to the week beginning 4 May. Parliament can then elect the new government.
