Horváth to be finalized as Socialist candidate for Budapest mayoral election

csaba-horvath-mszp.jpgPending a final vote on the manner, the Socialist Party has assembled its list for the municipal elections to be held this fall, Magyar Nemzet reports, with Csaba Horváth to be the party's Budapest mayoral candidate. Horváth has been vice-mayor of Budapest since 2006 alongside Miklós Hagyó, who was originally tipped to be the Socialist candidate until he was connected to nearly every BKV scandal that emerged since last summer. Horváth will likely run against nominally independent and Fidesz-supported István Tarlós, and against any other possible third party candidates, since five-term mayor Gábor Demszky has ruled out running again, thankfully.
