BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungarians will choose between leftist European lawmaker Klara Dobrev and conservative "outsider" Peter Marki-Zay in a primary this weekend to lead an unprecedented joint opposition bid to oust Prime Minister Viktor Orban in 2022 elections.
The tight race between Dobrev, a 49-year-old lawyer and economist, whose candidacy would raise the prospect of Hungary's first female prime minister, and Marki-Zay, a small-town mayor with no party affiliation, has mobilised hundreds of thousands of voters tired of Orban's nationalist government which has been in power since 2010.
