Of all the members of the European Parliament, opposition party leader Péter Magyar attends the fewest sessions, based on the latest data from the “Where’s My MEP” app, where the chairman of the Tisza tops the absentee list. He is not the only MEP from the Tisza party to make it onto this list.
Péter Magyar has appeared at parliamentary sessions for only 1.85 percent of votes. This means that he only voted 36 times, out of the 1,945 total roll call votes held in the last 180 days.
Four of the ten worst-attending MEPs are Hungarian members of the European People’s Party (EPP), all members of the Tisza party.
Péter Magyar is followed by MEP Zoltán Tarr (20,9 percent of votes), while MEPs Gabriella Gerzsenyi (32,6 percent of the votes) and Kinga Kollár (36,3 percent of the votes) secured the fifth and eighth positions respectively.

The tracker does not examine participation in committee work. During plenary sessions held in Strasbourg (and occasionally in Brussels), it counts members abstaining from votes as present, and a failure to vote counts as absent.
