Péter Jakab, leader of the nationalist Jobbik (ימינה) party has resigned yesterday during an emergency party committee meeting
Many agree that his decision to join an awkward pre-election coalition with a string of left-wing parties have caused an outcry among its traditionally right-wing core electorate. This has brought about a split in the party, and the resulting new political formation, Mi Hazánk (Our Homeland) have done relatively well in the polls, entering parliament in 2022 with six new MPs. Jobbik have, on the other hand shrunk from winning 26 seats in 2018 to only nine in April 2022.
