> Immediately after the first election, the court (mostly consisting of SPD) ordered a recount.

The recount was ordered after two complaints were lodged, one which was rejected and the one that was accepted was from another contender in the first round of elections. Only one recount was performed. Only 4 of the 9 members of the court were proposed by PSD (SPD), 4 were proposed by PNL and another by UDMR.

> Except now it seems SPD hasn't fully decided this. This election seemingly gives them one more chance

While they do have another chance, the fact that they were at the wheel while this happened, and the fact that their candidate was in 3rd place even after the recount will not help them in a new election.

You forget to mention that PSD/SPD and PNL are running the government together now, and UDMR (minority hungarian party) will ally with anyone who gives them a few government positions. Usually with SPD.
