Hungarian Parliament Votes in Secret on András Baka
Hungarian parliament on Tuesday began secret voting on a new head of state. András Baka, the Tisza party nominee and former chief justice of the Supreme Court, remained the only valid candidate. The voting is to last 40 minutes, with a further 20 minutes reserved for counting votes. ekonomika.pravda.sk ↗
The presiding officer of the session, Anikó Hallerné Nagy, announced that the candidate of the Mi Hazánk movement, Máté Tóth, did not obtain a sufficient number of endorsements. Lawmakers therefore could only vote on Baka. Before the start of voting, he came into the chamber and took his place.
Fidesz and KDNP did not participate in the vote according to a prior announcement. Their parliamentary benches remained empty, and the Fidesz faction participated in laying wreaths at the monument to the 1956 revolution in Tata during the voting. The result is considered expected despite the boycott, since Tisza has a clear majority in parliament. Telex ↗
Baka is to become the eighth president of Hungary since the change of regime. His nomination follows the power shift after Prime Minister Péter Magyar's taking office and is described in foreign commentaries as a symbolic departure from the previous political period. However, the new president cannot assume office immediately; the powers of the head of state until the election of a new president are temporarily exercised by the president of parliament. Index.hu ↗
