Hungary's parliament has voted to approve a constitutional amendment that would remove President Tamas Sulyok from office, marking a major political shift under the country's new government.
The amendment passed with 139 votes in favour and six against, ending Sulyok's largely ceremonial presidency and allowing lawmakers to elect a new head of state.
Prime Minister Peter Magyar, whose Tisza Party defeated former Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Fidesz Party in the April elections, has pledged to dismantle the influence of officials appointed during Orban's 16-year rule.
The constitutional changes also introduce judicial reforms, establish an independent body to investigate alleged financial misconduct under the previous administration, and impose a 12-year term limit on lawmakers.
President Sulyok has five days to sign the amendment into law. If he refuses, the government has indicated that parliament will begin impeachment proceedings.
Although the Hungarian presidency is largely ceremonial, the office has the authority to approve legislation or refer laws to the Constitutional Court, making it an important part of the country's political system. The government argues that the reforms are necessary to strengthen democratic institutions and accelerate its reform agenda.
