Marth, 1599
The 1599 presidential campaign was expected to be the most consequential presidential election in decades, and it was hoped that it will broke the political impasse that had dominated Keszarian politics since 1594.
There were more than twenty candidates, but soon it became obvious that final choice will be between two men who had been allies not so long ago: the candidate of the Democratic Centre Party Lázár Kádár and Árpád Meggyesfalvi.
In the first round, Lázár Kádár obtained 31.8% of the vote, while Árpád Meggyesfalvi was second with 19.6%, a clear difference but at the same a margin enough to give both candidates. The candidate of the Moderate Party obtained only 15.9%, while Gyöngy Székély obtained 11.8% both far from getting to the second round.
As the presidential campaign was reduced to two men, the electoral campaign started getting more and more personal, signalling the distance between both men who became two of the main faces against Békésy's regime not long ago.
Lázár Kádár aimed to become the true face of the 1594 political movement, his campaign was focused on promises to keep the fight against political corruption, liberalization and political reforms. He tried to convince voters that he was the only candidate that could assure deep changes and reforms. During the presidential campaign, he declared that the country needed a constitutional reform, and that he was open to move the country toward a more parliamentary system, if that's what the majority of the parliament wanted.
On the other hand, Meggyesfalvi tried to appeal to more diverse voters, offering "reasonable change" and dialogue. He tried to present himself as the only candidate which would be able to unite the nation and heal the wounds from the Békésy's rule and the 1594 political crisis.
Although most polls predicted a victory for Lázár Kádár, the distance between both candidates was getting closer and closer as the election day was approaching.
There were not much tension during the day of the election, and Lázár Kádár won the election, with the official count of 53% of the national vote. Even before that was confirmed, Meggyesfalvi conceded defeat although declaring that the trust that so many voters had given him would not be in vain. It was not clear what a Lázár Kádar's presidency would offer, but the ghosts from the 1594 election seemed to fade away as soon as Meggyesfalvi finished his speech.
Exactly twenty years after Géza Békésy was elected president, a new era seemed to open for Keszaria.
