BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Klara Dobrev's first political campaign two years ago earned her leftist party a better-than-expected four seats in the European Parliament. Now she is one step closer to her next goal: ousting nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

After the first round of opposition primaries the 49-year-old lawyer is now front-runner to become the candidate to lead a united opposition into an election early next year when she hopes to end Orban's decade in power.
