Hungary's ruling Tisza party, led by Prime Minister Peter Magyar, has nominated Andras Baka as the candidate for the country's next president. The party's parliamentary group announced the decision on Facebook this Saturday.
Baka, a former head and justice of the Supreme Court, was previously removed from his position by Fidesz. He has been selected to assume the largely ceremonial role of president.
The nomination follows the ouster of Tamas Sulyok last month. Holding a constitutional majority in Parliament, the Tisza party expects Baka to be elected on Tuesday.
