Hungary's parliament on June 15 passed a constitutional amendment limiting the prime minister's term to two four-year mandates. The amendment was supported by 135 deputies, with 50 voting against, according to Politico.

The measure, which was one of the campaign promises of new Prime Minister Peter Magyar, has retroactive effect, counting previously served terms. This means Viktor Orban, who has led Hungary for 16 years, cannot return to power.

The amendment also restricts Magyar himself from serving more than two terms as prime minister, preventing him from leading the government after 2034.

This marks the first constitutional changes initiated by Magyar's party. The Tisza party holds a constitutional majority, allowing it to amend the fundamental law.

Parliamentary elections in Hungary were held in April 2026, with the Tisza party led by Peter Magyar emerging victorious. Magyar succeeded Viktor Orban as prime minister.
