BUDAPEST, April ⁠10 (Reuters) - Hungary's centre-right Tisza party ⁠leads Prime Minister Viktor Orban's ‌ruling Fidesz ahead of Sunday's parliamentary election, a poll published by newspaper Nepszava showed ​on Friday.

Nationalist Orban ⁠faces the biggest ⁠challenge to his rule in 16 ⁠years, although ‌the large number of undecided voters means ⁠the outcome of the election is ​uncertain.

Tisza, led ‌by former government insider Peter ⁠Magyar, had ​the support of 52% of decided voters, while 39% backed ⁠Fidesz, the poll conducted by ​Publicus Institute showed.

The survey, which had a sample size of 1,000, ⁠showed 38% support for Tisza among all voters, with Fidesz backed by 29%. Some 25% of respondents ​said they had ⁠not decided how they would vote.
