Sharjah 24 – AFP: Hungary's nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban conceded defeat Sunday in parliamentary elections to his rival, conservative Peter Magyar, a former government insider and political newcomer who has promised "system change".

"The election results, though not yet final, are clear and understandable; for us, they are painful but unambiguous," said Orban, who has ruled the central European country for 16 years.

"We have not been entrusted with the responsibility and opportunity to govern. I congratulated the winning party."
