Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said his Fidesz party will wait until next month to name its premier candidate for pivotal parliamentary elections, as the ruling nationalist group trails in most polls.

While the Fidesz congress in Budapest presented its 106 picks to run for members of parliament on Saturday, the candidate for prime minister, who tops the ticket, will only be made by Feb. 20, Orban said.
