Hungarian General Election Betting Odds and History

Hungary General Election

•  Viktor Orban wins a fourth term as Prime Minister of Hungary. 

• Both the bookmakers and betting exchanges had the 58-year-old incumbent as the odds on favourite.

• The six opposition parties who joined forces to try and defeat Prime Minister Viktor Orban fell well short with only around 37% of the vote.

The Hungarian Election would normally pass many by, but interest has grown due to Orban being such a divisive figure.

Viktor Orban is the bad boy of the European Union, hardly a month goes past without some European leader or bureaucrat admonishing the 58-year-old leader for his views or proposed piece of restrictive legislation. 

Amongst a raft of accusations he has been accused of human rights violations, curtailing press freedom, interference with court procedures, and nepotism, yet his Fidesz party won nearly 50% of the vote at the 2018 Hungarian election and he remains a  hugely popular figure especially with the older generation. 

He is odds on favourite to be Prime Minister Of Hungary after the election. 

Amassed against Orban is a truly disparate coalition alliance, specifically formed to beat him at the General Election, they have rather unimaginatively called themselves the United Opposition. 

The list of parties coming together to take on the PM is as follows

• Jobbik
• LMP
• Green Party
• Momentum Movement
• Hungarian Socialist Party
• Dialogue For Hungary

As you can see they are strange bedfellows it would be like Labour joining forces with the SNP, Brexit Party, and Monster Raving Loony Party to defeat Boris Johnson. 

Below you can see the current betting exchange odds on a Fidesz - KNDP (Viktor Orban) majority at the next Hungarian Election. 

Betting initially has Fidesz - KNDP odds on to retain power and win a majority, but after the opposition chose Peter Marki- Zay as their leader the betting odds have flip-flopped. 

His party may not win as many seats as the last election but he individually may well remain as PM.
