The centre-right party Fidesz secured an unprecedented two-thirds majority in Hungary's Parliament through second-round voting on Sunday, according to preliminary data from the National Election Office.
...
With almost 98 per cent of second-round votes counted, Fidesz was set to fill 263 of 386 seats in the Hungarian Parliament.

Holding more than two-thirds of seats in Parliament will give the centre-right party the power to implement deep structural changes that normally require a cross-party consensus, such as altering the parliamentary and electoral system.

Increasing the magnitude of Hungary's massive swing to the right, the nationalist party Jobbik was on its way into Parliament for the first time with a 47-member caucus, making it the country's third- largest political force.
