Hungarian parliament rules out Orban return with eight-year limit for prime ministers (opens in new tab)

Hungary's parliament approved a constitutional amendment on Monday that allows prime ministers to ​serve for a maximum of eight years, ‌effectively barring former premier Viktor Orban from holding the role again. Prime Minister Peter Magyar ousted Orban ​in an election in April after 16 ​years, gaining a two-thirds majority in parliament ⁠that allows his party to roll back ​or change legislation passed by Orban's Fidesz, ​including the constitution.
