Prime Minister term limits

Hungary's new government led by Péter Magyar has proposed a constitutional amendment limiting prime ministers to a maximum of eight-year terms, effectively preventing former leader Viktor Orbán from returning to office. The draft amendment was submitted shortly after Magyar's government took office and represents the first step in dismantling Orbán's heavily amended constitution. The move marks a significant shift in Hungarian governance following years of constitutional changes under Orbán's Fidesz party.

Hungary's Tisza Party has submitted constitutional amendments that would limit prime ministers to two consecutive terms, effectively barring Viktor Orban from returning to power. The proposal also aims to dismantle the Sovereignty Protection Office and restore state control over public foundations that oversee universities and other institutions.
