Okay, so in 2006, there was an election in a city called Budapest to choose who would be the mayor. The mayor is like the boss of the city who helps make important decisions and takes care of the city.
During the election, there were two main candidates who wanted to be the mayor. One was called Gábor Demszky and the other was called István Tarlós. They both had different ideas and plans for how they wanted to run the city.
People who lived in Budapest got to vote for the candidate they wanted to be the mayor. They went to special places called polling stations, where they could choose who they thought would be the best mayor.
After all the votes were counted, it was decided that István Tarlós won the election and became the new mayor of Budapest. He would be in charge of the city and make decisions to help make it a better place to live.
It's important to have elections like this because it gives people a chance to choose who they think would be the best leader for their city. Different candidates may have different ideas and plans, and it's up to the people to decide who they trust to take care of their city.
