Constructive Vote of No Confidence - Hungary

Hungary

The unicameral National Assembly may not remove the Prime Minister of Hungary except by a constructive vote of no confidence. Article 39A (1) of the constitution provides that:

A motion of no confidence in the Prime Minister may be initiated by a written petition, which includes the nomination for a candidate for the office of Prime Minister, by no less than one-fifth of the Members of the National Assembly. A motion of no-confidence in the Prime Minister is considered a motion of no-confidence in the Government as well. Should, on the basis of this motion, the majority of the Members of the National Assembly withdraw their confidence, then the candidate nominated for Prime Minister in the motion shall be considered to have been elected.
