• Unresolved 45% Quick Confirmation and Mandate

  The governing party leverages the nomination to secure a swift endorsement from key coalition partners, leading to Baka being formally confirmed as the candidate within the mandated timeline. This suggests internal unity around the selection.

• Unresolved 25% Internal Political Rift

  Despite the nomination, a significant faction within the governing party challenges Baka's suitability, leading to a public rift and a delay in formal confirmation. This forces the party to seek a secondary candidate.

  Watch for: A high-ranking official from the governing party publicly announces a withdrawal of support for Baka · A motion to reconsider the nomination is tabled in the Hungarian Parliament within 12 days

• Unresolved 15% Judicial Backlash and Delay
