Hungarian President Tamás Sulyok has announced he will nominate opposition leader Péter Magyar to become the country's next prime minister. The move follows Magyar's party's victory in the recent parliamentary elections, which ended the long rule of Viktor Orbán's Fidesz party. Sulyok stated he will submit Magyar's name to parliament, where a vote of confidence is required to formally appoint the new government. This marks a significant political transition in Hungary after over a decade of Orbán's leadership.
