BUDAPEST(AFP)- The right-wing opposition Fidesz party won a landslide victory in Hungarian general elections on Sunday, while the far-right Jobbik party gained its first entry into parliament.

With 99 per cent of votes counted, Fidesz was far ahead with 52.77 per cent.
Whether it might secure a two thirds majority in parliament, which would allow it to make constitutional changes, will depend on a second round vote to be held on April 25.
Fidesz will, in any case, hold 206 of the 386 seats in parliament after the first round, in which 265 seats were up for grabs.
This means a likely return to power for Fidesz’s charismatic leader Viktor Orban, who was already Prime Minister between 1998 and 2002, after eight years in opposition.
The far-right Jobbik party, meanwhile, gained entry into parliament for the first time after winning 16.71 per cent of votes, even better than its surprising 15 per cent in European elections last year.
Jobbik, founded in 2003, is known for its anti-Semitic, anti-Roma rhetoric and has often railed against what it sees as typical “Roma crimes”.
