BUDAPEST (Reuters) -Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Fidesz party was on track for its worst result in a national or EU vote in nearly two decades at Sunday's European Parliament election, where a political newcomer trounced all other opposition parties. In power since 2010, the veteran nationalist Orban has grappled with multiple crises over the past months as a sex abuse scandal brought down two of his key allies, just as Hungary was emerging from the worst inflationary surge in the European Union. Initial results projected Orban's Fidesz and its small Christian Democrat allies winning 11 seats in the European Parliament with 44.2% of votes, down from a combined 13 seats prior to Sunday's vote.
