This is a sharp improvement for the opposition as they previously only occupied 4 of these mayorships.

In most of the cities, the assembly majority is composed of members aligned with the mayor, except: [8]

In XXIII., the mayor's civil organization together with Fidesz-KDNP members have a majority.

PartyVotes for losing candidatesAdditional seats
Fidesz–KDNP 195 2746
Momentum–DK–MSZP–Dialogue–LMP 86 3803

Number in parentheses is the candidate's original position on the list, as some list candidates were elected to a mayorship.

Tarlós announced on 15 October 2019, that he won't take his seat. [9] This caused Attila Ughy (list position 15) to take his seat instead. Zsolt Wintermantel did not take either his seat on 28 October; he was replaced by Gábor Pintér, according to the request of the Fidesz–KDNP alliance. [10] Botond Sára (9.) and Tamás Hoffmann (11.) were elected into the local representative bodies in their districts, therefore they were excluded from the party compensation list. [11]
