On Tuesday, Hungarian lawmakers in Budapest approved former supreme court chief Andras Baka as the country's next head of state during an extraordinary plenary session of Parliament.
Baka is known as a critic of Prime Minister Viktor Orban and was previously dismissed from his position during Orban's time in power.
The presidency became vacant following the contested removal of the previous president, who was an Orban ally, last month.
