Moldovan President Maia Sandu has formally congratulated Péter Magyar and the Tisza party on their "clear victory" in the Hungarian parliamentary elections.

In a statement released early Monday on the X platform, President Sandu expressed Moldova's readiness to strengthen ties with Budapest.

> Congratulations to @magyarpeterMP and the Tisza party on this clear victory. Moldova looks forward to accelerating our partnership with Hungary — building on the friendship that unites our people — and to working together for a stronger, more united, resilient Europe. — Maia Sandu (@sandumaiamd) April 13, 2026

**Landslide victory for the Tisza party**

Official results, with 98.94% of votes counted, confirm a significant shift in the Hungarian political landscape. The Tisza party, under the leadership of Péter Magyar, has secured 138 of the 199 seats in the National Assembly, achieving a constitutional supermajority.

The distribution of mandates for the winning party includes:

* 93 seats won in individual constituencies.
* 45 seats obtained via the national party list.

The outgoing Fidesz party, led by Viktor Orbán, retained 55 seats, while the right-wing Our Homeland (Mi Hazánk) party secured six mandates. The swiftness of President Sandu’s message underscores the strategic importance Chișinău places on its future cooperation with the new administration in Budapest.
