[h2]Shock defeat for Horthy as Árpád Szakasits is named new Hungarian King![/h2]

After months of campaigning, last night was the precious election that marked the return of the Hungarian Monarchy in the hands of the new king, Árpád Szakasits. Frontrunner Miklos Horthy had the lead in the polls all the way up to the final election, making this defeat a total shock for the ex-regent.

King Szakasits has set forth an agenda of democratic reforms, closer kinship with the Baltic, Slavic and Balkan states and anti-Communist action. With Horthy out of power, it is unknown what direction the Kingdom of Hungary will go in next!
