BUDAPEST, April 18 (Reuters) - Hungarian election winner Peter Magyar's Tisza party has increased its parliamentary supermajority to 141 seats out of 199 after the processing of ‌postal, foreign mission, and transferred votes, the election office said on Saturday.
...
A preliminary tally had put the number of Tisza lawmakers at 138, already exceeding the two-thirds majority Magyar needed to undo Orban's constitutional ‌overhaul and tackle corruption. The final count rose to 141 once all votes were tallied.

Not quite sure how that worked when Fidesz got 84% of the postal vote, but it's good - he's not at the mercy of losing the supermajority to defectors, deaths etc.
