Hungary's government will amend the constitution to remove President Tamás Sulyok from office. The parliament approved a constitutional amendment that limits prime ministers to a maximum of eight years, effectively barring former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán from returning to the premiership. The amendment was approved by 135 votes in favor and 50 against, and it applies retroactively, preventing Orbán from returning as prime minister. Hungary's parliament holds a two‑thirds majority, enabling the government to pass constitutional amendments.

President Tamás Sulyok has refused to resign or step aside. Prime Minister Péter Magyar gave President Sulyok a deadline of Sunday to leave office, according to Al Jazeera, and threatened legal action or a constitutional amendment if the president does not resign, as reported by western outlets. The prime minister also confirmed that a new constitution will be drafted and later put to a national referendum, according to TASS.
