Following Katalin Novak's unexpected resignation from her post as President, Hungary elected Constitutional Court Chief Tamas Sulyok as the country's next president on Monday, Reuters revealed.

Novak, who was conservative Prime Minister Viktor Orban's close ally, resigned unexpectedly due to compiled pressure after she pardoned a man convicted of child sexual abuse cover-ups.

However, Sulyok, who was elected for five years by Orban's ruling party in parliament, could help Orban repolish the government's image, specifically for its promotion of family and Christian values. 

"Just as a lawyer, also as President of the Republic, I can best serve the public good and stand for the unity of the nation by upholding the fundamental values of the law," Sulyok said in the wake of his election. He also vowed to foster and maintain transparency regarding presidential awards and pardons. 

🗳️ Today, the Hungarian Parliament elected Tamás Sulyok as the next President of Hungary.

Congratulations Mr. President! May God bless your work! 🇭🇺 pic.twitter.com/kuIr6Qsx3s

Last Friday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban told reporters that he and Swedish counterpart Ulf Kristersson have "managed to clarify our mutual good intentions" after the two agreed on a deal that involved the purchase of four Swedish-made fighter jets.

After Ankara ratified Sweden's membership on January 25, Budapest became the final NATO member to endorse the bid. Throughout the accession protocol, securing Ankara's approval proved challenging, particularly due to differences in reaching an agreement on the extradition of Kurdish individuals accused of involvement in terrorist operations.
