Hungary’s Fidesz calls on election chiefs to quit

BUDAPEST, April 11 (Reuters) – A vice chairman of Hungary’s centre-right Fidesz party called on the heads of the National Election Committee to resign over an unprecedented delay in the country’s election on Sunday, news agency MTI reported.

MTI cited Lajos Kosa, whose party is expected to win, as saying the election committee overstepped its legal authority and broke the law by extending campaign silence and not closing polling stations at 1700 GMT when voting was scheduled to end. (Reporting by Gergely Szakacs)
