"I will not rule over Hungary - I will serve my country," Magyar said after he took the oath of office in parliament.

Tisza holds 141 seats out of 199 in the new parliament - up from zero, a result of the party being founded just two years ago.

Tens of thousands of people are expected to take part in a "celebration of freedom and democracy" outside parliament in Budapest, along the shores of the Danube. Magyar has told Hungarians to step through the "gateway of regime change".

Orbán's Fidesz party crumbled from 135 to 52 seats, and shows signs of imploding.
