A coalition of opposition political parties titled United for Hungary accepted the second-highest share of votes and seats, accumulating 34.89% of the vote and 56 seats. Seven of the remaining eight seats in Parliament went to the “Our Country” party, which apprehended 6.15% of the vote in the election. The eighth seat went to a minor political party, the National Self-Government of Hungarian Germans.
