Hungary's parliament has approved a constitutional amendment imposing an eight-year limit on prime ministers, effectively preventing Viktor Orbán from returning to power after serving over 20 years. The reform was introduced by Prime Minister Peter Magyar as part of his effort to realign Hungary with EU mainstream politics. The amendment requires Orbán to step down by 2028.
