'A truly historic moment': BBC reports from Hungary as Viktor Orbán concedes election

Hungarian election: BBC reports from Budapest as Orbán concedes

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has conceded defeat in the Hungarian election after 16 years in power, with the opposition on course for a landslide win.

Péter Magyar is set to be the country's new prime minister, after record numbers turned out for an election which was seen as pivotal to the future of Hungary and Europe.

With two thirds of the votes counted, Magyar's party is set to win a massive majority in parliament. Vote counting will continue in the coming days.

The BBC's Rajini Vaidyanathan broadcasts from outside Hungary's parliament as crowds hear about the prime minister's concession.
