After 16 years in power, can Viktor Orban finally be unseated?

A slight figure in neat shirts and jackets, Magyar appeared too dapper and urbane to reach the hearts of rural voters, but he proved a strong contender. Orban, 62, is a village boy who speaks village Hungarian, while Magyar is studying to be a lawyer in Budapest. Conscious that his status as a member of the metropolitan elite may make him less likely to appeal to rural voters, Magyar has been touring the countryside tirelessly for the past two years, drawing large crowds. Unlike Orban, who approaches global politics with a lyrical tone, Magyar focuses on domestic issues such as health, education, transportation and the decrease in rural population in his speeches.
