Hungarian PM Viktor Orban, who ruled Hungary for 16 years, has conceded defeat to conservative Peter Magyar in parliamentary elections. With votes in almost 67 percent of precincts counted, Magyar's party stood to have gained 137 seats, or more than two-thirds of all 199 parliamentary seats, according to official election results. The vote Sunday was being closely watched across Europe and in the United States, with US President Donald Trump endorsing Orban, a self-described "thorn" in the EU's side and a defender of "illiberal democracy" who is also close to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
