Hungary's Tisza Party convenes to select presidential nominee
Hungary’s opposition Tisza Party faction met on Saturday to select its candidate for the upcoming presidential vote in parliament.
Hungary’s opposition Tisza Party parliamentary faction met on Saturday to deliberate on its candidate for the country's upcoming presidential vote. Faction leader Andrea Bujdosó confirmed that lawmakers intend to choose from a shortlist of three undisclosed nominees.
The formal submission deadline is set for Monday at 10:00 AM, ahead of the National Assembly’s scheduled vote on Tuesday, August 11. The presidency became vacant on July 20 following the conclusion of former President Tamás Sulyok’s tenure under constitutional amendments.
Separately, parliament is scheduled to convene an extraordinary session later in August to select the head of the National Asset Recovery Office, with applications open until August 16.
