Hungary's parliament has voted to block former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán from returning to office, limiting any individual's tenure as prime minister to eight years. The vote fulfills a campaign promise by current Prime Minister Péter Magyar, who succeeded Orbán. The constitutional change prevents Orbán, who previously served as PM from 2010 to 2024, from ever holding the office again. The move marks a significant shift in Hungarian politics after Orbán's long tenure.
