The right-wing opposition Fidesz won a landslide victory after the first round of Hungary's general elections on Sunday, based on 99 percent of votes counted. Fidesz won 52.77 percent of the vote, far ahead of its main rivals, as opinion polls had predicted. However, it stopped short of winning a two-thirds majority in the 386-seat parliament, which would have allowed it to make constitutional changes.
