BUDAPEST, June 13 (Reuters) - Hungary's main opposition Fidesz party re-elected former Prime Minister Viktor Orban as its leader on Saturday for another year despite the party's loss of power in an April 12 election to the centre-right Tisza party.

For Hungary’s former autocratic prime minister, Viktor Orban, Ukraine was an “evil empire,” a mafia state teeming with human traffickers, drug dealers and arms merchants. He and his regime even suggested that Ukraine wanted to launch an attack on Hungary.

Péter Magyar's center-right Tisza party defeated Orbán's nationalist-populist Fidesz in a stunning blow last month.

Viktor Orban’s popularity is still in freefall even after his landslide election loss in April. But as further corruption allegations emerge in a mysterious case of a missing 3 billion euros, his legacy may be dead and buried.

Since his election victory, Prime Minister Péter Magyar has repeatedly called on President Tamás Sulyok, appointed by Viktor Orbán's party, to resign or be removed by constitutional means.

Hungarian President Tamas Sulyok rejected Prime Minister Peter Magyar’s demand that he resign, setting up a political showdown between the country’s old and new leadership figures.
