Fekete-Győr Reelected As Head Of Momentum Movement

The delegates’ assembly of the Momentum Movement re-elected Andras Fekete-Győr as its leader for a two-year term.

Fekete-Győr garnered over 50% already in the first round of the vote, the party said. After the vote, Fekete-Győr said that Momentum had won over nearly 200,000 voters over the past year.

At the April 8 election, the party, which was founded in 2015, won over 3% of the ballots. This result “indicates that there is a huge demand for a new political generation in Hungary,” Fekete-Győr said, adding that there is still much to do but “we are heading in the right direction and have the enthusiasm needed.”
