Hungary was full of celebration when the opposition Tisza party, led by Péter Magyar, won the election that finally ended Viktor Orban’s 16-year rule. And it appeared that Zsolt Hegedűs, a leading candidate for the health minister position, was ecstatic about the win as he pulled out fierce dance moves that have since gone viral.

According to RTÉ News, which shared a clip of Zsolt dancing on 13 April 2026 on its Facebook page, the orthopaedic surgeon impressed the crowd before him, and later the world, with his impromptu choreography following Péter's victory speech. The moves were nothing short of entertaining and got cheers from his colleagues on stage, too.

Thousands of social media users added positivity to the comment section after watching Zsolt bust a few moves on stage.

Eamon Kirwan laughed and told people online:

"Anyone who has moves like that deserves a vote."

Etti Lilti pointed out:

"At least he dances better than Trump."

David Benedict Kiley wrote in the comments:

"If he can get even just half of the population grooving like that, just imagine the health benefits and increases in the 'Feel Good' index."

An amused Yuri Tfscot shared:

"Well, that would make sense if this gentleman became the health minister. With all that bouncing and dancing, he has proved he has flexibility and is in good shape."

Linda Yahiaoui humorously stated:

"I don't know why, but he reminded me of Mr Bean by the washing machine, trying to get out of his pants."

Rob Boylan added under the post:
