Hadházy leaving politics



Independent MP Ákos Hadházy announced his retirement on Monday. He said on social media that after the voters’ decision he is leaving public life and will continue as a private individual

Hadházy was knocked out of his MP’s seat centred on Budapest’s 14th District by the Tisza wave that swept across the nation.

He won only 16.3% of local votes, far behind the Tisza nominee with 53.0% and the Fidesz candidate with 24.9%.

Hadházy told HVG that he is not disappointed by this, and he will return to his veterinary practice with no regrets.

He said he had been working for 13 years to unseat Fidesz and is grateful to those who supported his work, singling out his family.
