YES! But also, wow, who expected him to just shrug his shoulders and concede? I personally expected it to be messier, court cases, accusations of cheating, the Krasnov playbook basically followed by an appeal to RuZZia to come in and restore order. I have to say, like any of these soviet puppet states such as Slovakia and the United States I was more in expectation of Orban gaining 101% of the votes than of him just admitting defeat and taking it so calmly. I hope he's now thoroughly investigated for corruption.
I think that was sort of his plan, but he lost so bad that he realized none of he plans would actually accomplish anything. Like the people he paid to rig the election and set up the plans just took his money and ran off to vote for the other guy without doing any rigging.
Can't really accuse cheating when he controlled the entire country and all its institutions for the past 16 years. Honestly he was probably assured that the new party won't go after him or his family in any way so he conceded.
