Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban will firmly remain in his seat for the next four years, putting him on track for his third consecutive term in office. Results so far are saying his political party Fidesz will win 133 of 199 seats in parliament, in what is exactly is a two-thirds majority. CGTN's Aljosa Milenkovic is in Budapest with more.

As the results started trickling in, smiles and joy were spreading among Fidesz supporters, as they gathered in downtown Budapest. Only to erupt in open jubilation when prime minister Viktor Orban appeared.

VIKTOR ORBAN HUNGARIAN PRIME MINISTER "Good evening to everyone. Dear ladies and gentleman, we won. Concerning the results, what I can tell you tonight, my dear friends, big battle is behind us. We have won a crucial victory, giving ourselves a chance to defend Hungary."

ALJOSA MILENKOVIC BUDAPEST It is a big night for Viktor Orban and his Fidesz-KDNP coalition. A landslide victory that was greeted with cheers among its supporters here in the downtown Budapest. A victory that will give Mr. Orban not just next four years in the office, but also a card blanch to continue his current policies.

And this is victory not unexpected. Earlier in the day, people were queuing at voting stations, waiting to cast their ballots. Many of them were open about their support for Orban and his party.

TIBORNE PASZTOR BUDAPEST RESIDENT "We hope Fidesz will win. We are old enough to say that Hungary needs Fidesz to govern because at the moment the country is going in a good direction."

JANOS SULEK BUDAPEST RESIDENT "Fidesz exaggerated very much the issue of migrants. It hasn't that much significance although they speak about it all the time on the radio and TV. But in general, I think the Hungarians are satisfied with the last 8 years, so they'll win again."

Opposition leaders were betting on a high turnout, hoping it'll mean more votes for them and smaller percentage for Fidesz.

GERGELY KARACSONY MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY "The point is that during the early hours the turnout was above expectation, therefore we have all the reasons to suppose that the ultimate turnout will be more than 70%. In this case, it's highly possible the people who want change will be in majority - not just in the society, but in the voting booths as well."

At the end, voter turnout reached almost 70%. But that didn't even help the opposition put a dent in Orban's popularity. So, if the PM does stick to his campaign promises, then in the next four years, Hungary will continue its tough policies on the EU with its so-called "zero migrant policy", as well as focus on a strong economic development. And for the two thirds of those who voted, it seems like that's the direction they're supporting. Aljosa Milenkovic, CGTN, Budapest.
