Gábor Vona (born Gábor Zázrivecz; 20 August 1978) is a Hungarian historian, teacher and politician who led the Hungarian far-right political party Jobbik from 2006 until 2018.
He was the party's candidate for the position of prime minister in the 2010, 2014 and 2018 national elections.
He served as a Member of Parliament (MP) from 2010 to 2018, and led the Jobbik parliamentary group until 2016. Under his leadership, the Jobbik founded its controversial and short-lived paramilitary wing Magyar Gárda, while the then minor extra-parliamentary party gained great popularity among voters since the 2006 nationwide protests and elevated into the National Assembly during the 2010 parliamentary election.
Vona initiated to re-define Jobbik from a nationalist radical movement to a conservative people's party after 2014, when the party became the strongest opposition party against Viktor Orbán's Fidesz.
Vona tendered his resignation after disappointing election results in the 2018 parliamentary election, and also returned his obtained parliamentary mandate.
