A video of Hungarian politician Zsolt Hegedus dancing on stage during election celebrations has gone viral, overshadowing parts of the victory speech after Hungary’s parliamentary polls on April 12.

The moment came after Peter Magyar, leader of the centre-right Tisza Party, declared a landslide victory in elections that ended Viktor Orban’s 16-year rule. The party secured a projected two-thirds supermajority in parliament, marking a major political shift in the country.

During the celebrations in Budapest, Hegedus was seen enthusiastically dancing on stage shortly after the victory address, drawing cheers from supporters. The clip quickly spread across social media, with users sharing the light-hearted moment from the high-stakes political event.

Hegedus, who has been designated by Magyar as the incoming Health Minister, is an orthopaedic surgeon by profession. He has worked for many years in leading UK medical clinics before returning to Hungary in 2015, where he focused on healthcare reform. He is also known as one of the key figures shaping the Tisza Party’s health policy agenda.

The election saw Orban, a long-time advocate of “illiberal democracy," concede defeat to Magyar’s pro-European conservative platform. The result was marked by high voter turnout and a decisive parliamentary majority for the Tisza Party… many users on X wrote:
