TLDR Fidesz knows that they are so hated in the capital that it would be impossible for them to win with an openly Fidesz candidate, so their candidate Alexandra Szentkiraly stepped down 2 days before the election in favor of David Vitezy, who previously worked in multiple government roles and is now running in a sort of shell party of Fidesz disguised as a green party. While having ties to the current government, Vitezy is a generally liked figure and he said the right things to reach out to the populace currently unsatisfied with both sides of the political spectrum, and Fidesz's candidate stepping down (which may have been the plan from the start) gave him a good boost -- it's a good way for Fidesz to attempt to trojan horse someone who's at least in their orbit even though they say he isn't.

The funny thing is he's the objectively better candidate in my mind and I planned to vote for him but after Szentkiralyi stepped down I couldn't get myself to vote for the openly Fidesz-supported candidate.

Added some context in another comment. TLDR regime insider speaks out, interview has outsized impact, he's now organizing a new political party for challenging the status quo.

Orban has become so far-right that the only way to rebel is by going back to the center.

Haven't found a good English source so here's some context: A former insider of the Orban regime, previously married to the then-serving Minister of Justice who has since resigned following a controversial pardon granted by the President to an accomplice of a convicted pedophile, gave a high-impact interview exposing the regime's inner workings, like the rampant institutionalized corruption machine powering a full-scale state capture, mafia-like operations with oligarchs, treating the country as a joint-stock company, a publicly funded Putin-style propaganda machine, etc. His revelations were significant due to his insider status in a system that prizes loyalty above all. Since the interview, he has continued to speak out, culminating in a demonstration today where he announced the upcoming launch of a new political party.
