Hello and welcome to NewsHour Live from the BBC World Service.
I'm Rebecca Kesby in London and Rajini Vaidenathen is in the Hungarian capital,
Budapest, where the election results are in.
And Rajini, what a historic result.
Indeed, because in the last 10 or 15 minutes, the long-serving prime minister of Hungary,
Viktor Orban, from the far-right Fidesz party, conceded defeat in these parliamentary elections.
Now, Rebecca, you join me on the banks of the river Danube in the capital,
Budapest, and I am surrounded by thousands of people,
supporters of the opposition TISA party, which is led by the soon-to-be prime minister,
I have to say there 's a real party mood here.
People are waving flags and a lot of people are drinking beer in plastic cups.
We've heard the sound of champagne corks popping.
And I have to say I smell a bit of beer and champagne as well.
Not because I've drunk any, but because it's all getting thrown over on us.
Because people cannot believe what has happened.
Now, through the election campaign here in Hungary, the opinion polls did seem to suggest that the opposition.
Party of which Peter Magyar only started to lead some two years ago.
So imagine what a meteoric rise he has had.
They did n't necessarily want to believe that those polls were true
because it was predicting a huge lead for the TISA party.
