Unlike our own Grand Cham ...

Orban concedes defeat after what he described as a 'painful but unambiguous' election result, less than three hours after polls closed on Sunday. 'I congratulated the victorious party,' the rightwing populist told supporters in Budapest after a landslide win by Pter Magyar's Tisza party. 'We are going to serve the Hungarian nation and our homeland from opposition as well,' he said.
