Speaking to journalists before a meeting with Sulyok at the presidential Sándor Palace, Magyar said he would listen to what the president had to say, and convey “the will of the Hungarian people, that he must leave office once the new government is in place”.

According to a report by MTI, Magyar said Sulyok was “unfit to embody the unity of the Hungarian nation, unworthy to be the guardian of the rule of law in Hungary and unfit to serve as a moral compass or role model for the Hungarian people”.

Sulyok is holding consultations today with the leaders of the three parties that secured seats in parliament, as the post-election transition process continues.

The National Election Office is expected to finalize the results from the April 12 vote by May 4 at the latest, making the allocation of mandates official and clearing the way for the formation of the new legislature. Under constitutional deadlines, the president must convene the inaugural session of the new Hungarian National Assembly by May 12.

UPDATE: Parliament Expected to Hold Inaugural Session on May 4, 6 or 7

Hungary’s new parliament is expected to hold its inaugural session on May 4, May 6 or May 7, Magyar said after a meeting with President Sulyok, according to a report by MTI.
