  • Italics denote a mayor not running for reelection

In case of joint candidates, bold denotes the party to which the candidate personally belongs. In the 23 districts, 14 opposition or opposition supported candidates won, with 9 government-aligned or government-supported mayors. This is a sharp improvement for the opposition as they previously only occupied 4 of these mayorships.

In most of the cities, the assembly majority is composed of members aligned with the mayor, except:[8]

In XXIII., the mayor's civil organization together with Fidesz-KDNP members have a majority.

Party list seats

[edit]
Party Votes for losing candidates Additional seats
Fidesz–KDNP 195 274 6
Momentum–DK–MSZP–Párbeszéd–LMP 86 380 3

Number in parentheses is the candidate's original position on the list, as some list candidates were elected to a mayorship.

Tarlós announced on 15 October 2019, that he won't take his seat.[9] This caused Attila Ughy (list position 15) to take his seat instead. Zsolt Wintermantel did not take either his seat on 28 October; he was replaced by Gábor Pintér, according to the request of the Fidesz–KDNP alliance.[10] Botond Sára (9.) and Tamás Hoffmann (11.) were elected into the local representative bodies in their districts, therefore they were excluded from the party compensation list.[11]
