Budapest turned into a party zone well into the early hours on Monday with people dancing outside pubs and cars honking as supporters of the opposition Tisza party celebrated their sweeping victory in a pivotal election on Sunday. The election, which brought a record turnout of 80% based on preliminary data, ended the 16-year rule of right-wing Prime Minister Viktor Orban and for Hungarians toasting and waving flags in the capital city this meant voting for the country's European orientation and a restoration of democracy, eroded by Orban and his government since 2010.
