BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Sunday he was ready to lead his ruling Fidesz party in 2018 national elections, aiming to become prime minister for a third consecutive term.
"I would like to make it clear to you that in 2 years' time, if the trust is there, I am ready to lead you in the election fight and ... if we win, to continue my work at the head of the government," Orban told his party's congress.
A recent poll by Median showed Orban's Fidesz, in power since 2010, had 51 percent support among decided voters, compared with 21 percent for the second strongest party, the far-right Jobbik.
