Who is Péter Magyar, the man leading the polls as Hungary prepares for election?

Former Viktor Orban loyalist and his Tisza party have enjoyed meteoric rise as opposition movement grows

As a child growing up in Budapest, Peter Magyar had a poster of Viktor Orban - at the time a leading figure in the country's pro-democracy movement - hanging above his bed. Orban was one of several political figures that adorned his bedroom, Magyar told a podcast last year, hinting at his excitement over the changes sweeping the country after the collapse of communism.

Now Magyar, 45, is the driving force behind what could be another momentous political change in Hungary: the ousting of Orban, whose 16 years in power has transformed the country into a petri dish for illiberalism".
