Zsolt Hegedus, a leading candidate for health minister in a future Hungarian government, danced enthusiastically on stage on Sunday (April 12) as the opposition Tisza party celebrated a landslide victory that ended Viktor Orban's long rule.
Hegedus' dance moves on stage, following Tisza's leader Peter Magyar's speech, had gone viral online.
The celebrations continued well into the early hours, turning Budapest into a party zone as supporters gathered near the stage and throughout Budapest's streets.
Crowds of Tisza supporters cheered the historic result that sent shockwaves from Washington to Kyiv and caused local markets to surge.
Hungary's veteran nationalist leader Viktor Orban lost power to the upstart center-right Tisza party in Sunday's national election after 16 years in office, marking a setback for his allies in Russia and US President Donald Trump's White House.
