Hungary has entered a new political era, as Peter Magyar has been officially sworn in as the country's prime minister, ending Viktor Orban's 16-year reign in power.
Magyar, leader of the opposition Tisza party, took office after a landslide victory in the elections, which marked one of the biggest political changes in the country's recent history.
His swearing-in took place at an official ceremony in Budapest, with his supporters hailing the moment as a 'historic turning point' for Hungary and the end of a long era of Orban's dominance.
In his first speech as prime minister, Magyar promised deep reforms in institutions, the fight against corruption and the restoration of faith in democracy, while warning of significant changes in Hungary's relations with the European Union.
The change of power comes after a strong political campaign, where Magyar managed to mobilize a large part of the electorate with promises of 'system renewal' and governmental transparency.
