When processing 98 percent of the list votes, it appears that the Germans of Hungary will not win a seat in the new parliament.
In the 2018 parliamentary election, Emmerich Ritter was elected as the first German MP in the history of the Hungarian National Assembly.
However in the 2026 parliamentary election the LdU (National self-government of the Hungarian Germans) failed to get enough votes to enter the parliament.

Oh no! Anyway…
Interesting, I did not know that Hungary has a German minority party.
*Ungarndeutschen
He was a puppet for Orban anyway, party member since 2006.
As a bit of background: minorities in Hungary can send MPs to the parliament if their special minority list receives a certain number of votes.
In 2022 the German minority list was the first one who crossed that threshold. Their MP then went to do absolutely nothing for the Germans and basically joined Fidesz’s group and voted with them on everything.
As a response, in 2026 Germans in Hungary de-registered from the minority list en masse, making it impossible for the German minority list to cross the threshold required to send an MP.
Tl;dr: this is not a loss for Germans, but for Orban. Germans decided that this fucker is not worthy of their vote.
