                  Hungarian PM Declares Victory In Sunday Vote

   Hungary`s Prime Minister Viktor Orban has declared victory in Sunday`s
   parliamentary election.
   He addressed the nation after the polling stationS closed and more than
   80 percent of the vote was counted. Election officials said his Fidesz
   Party and its small ally the Christian Democratic People`s Party look
   set to win close to two-thirds of the parliamentary seats.
   "This was not just any odd victory. We have scored such a comprehensive
   victory, the significance of which we cannot yet fully grasp tonight.``
   Two-thirds of the seats are needed for a party to be able to change the
   constitution.
   About one-fifth of the vote went to a far-right opposition party
   accused of anti-Semitism.
   Many voters have credited Mr. Orban with improving the economy and
   lowering utility costs after eight years of Socialist mismanagement.
   Critics have accused him of discouraging much-needed foreign
   investment.
