Saturday's absentee ballot count confirmed the ruling Fidesz-KDNP party's two-thirds majority in Hungarian parliament, albeit by a single vote.

According to the National Elections Bureau, Fidesz-KDNP has 133 seats in the new parliament, the left-wing coalition has 38, the far-right Jobbik has 23, and the green LMP has 5.

The results of the Hungarian parliamentary elections held on April 6 remain unofficial until all challenges have been investigated.

Challenges will be accepted once the vote count is completed nation-wide but will be limited to charges of violations of election law backed by evidence. There will be no recounts for any other reason.

Official results could be delayed until early May at latest, but chances of any modification are almost nil.

Fidesz-KDNP MP candidates were ahead in two Budapest constituencies and one left-wing coalition candidate was similarly ahead in a third, where absentee ballots could have changed outcomes.

Absentee ballots were cast by people unable to vote in their home constituency, whether within Hungary or abroad. These ballots were collected by the National Elections Bureau where they were sorted by the home constituencies of the voters and then sent to the home constituencies for counting.

Since many had been cast in 97 Hungarian embassies all over the world and had to be transferred to Hungary, the final count was delayed until Saturday.
