Polls suggest a close race, with TISZA slightly ahead, though outcomes remain uncertain, including the possibility of a hung parliament. The campaign is marked by polarisation, low trust in polling, and disinformation, with Fidesz focusing on security issues and TISZA on economic and governance concerns. For businesses, the result will have significant implications: a TISZA victory could improve EU relations and economic prospects, while a Fidesz win would mean policy continuity but ongoing unpredictability.
