As the only candidate in Keszthely, Jenő Manninger (Fidesz-KDNP) - who was a Fidesz representative of the Keszthely region until April - will run for the title of mayor in the interim municipal election on Sunday, according to data from the National Elections Office. The opposition could not put forward a candidate for the vote. The previous city manager, Bálint Nagy (Fidesz–KDNP), was elected the district's parliamentary representative in April, so he resigned from his post as mayor. In the future, the city manager will work as the state secretary of János Lázár's ministry.
A new municipal representative will also be elected in the Balaton-side city on Sunday, Renáta Bánhegyi (Fidesz–KDNP) and Viktória Kovács (Democratic Coalition) will run in the 8th electoral district.
Interim mayoral elections are being held in Fertőhomok, Győr-Moson-Sopron County, after Attila Horváth, who has led the Fertő-parti village since 1990, died on March 22 last year, the head of the local election office informed MTI.
