-

BUDAPEST, ‌Aug 11 (Reuters) - Hungary's ​parliament elected Andras ⁠Baka, a former head of the ​Supreme Court, as ‌the country's next president on Tuesday, a ⁠symbolic step ⁠in Prime Minister Peter Magyar's effort to dismantle ‌former premier Viktor Orban's ⁠bastions of ‌power.

Baka ​was elected to the largely ceremonial ‌role with the ​votes ⁠of the governing ‌centre-right ⁠Tisza party. Members of the opposition Fidesz ​party ‌did not take part ⁠in the ​election.
