Dr. Miklós Seszták (born 31 October 1968) is a Hungarian jurist and politician. He has been Minister of National Development in Viktor Orbán's cabinet since 2014. He was elected Member of Parliament for Kisvárda, Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County in 2010. He is one of the vice presidents of the Christian Democratic People's Party (KDNP).
He was born into a Greek Catholic priestly family in Budapest on 31 October 1968. He graduated from the Faculty of Law of the Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) in 1994. After that he has practiced as a trainee lawyer until his successful completion of the professional examination in 1996, when opened his own law firm in Kisvárda.
Supported by mayor and Fidesz member Albert Oláh, he became involved in politics in 1998, when he was elected to the local government body of Kisvárda as a candidate of a local civic association. From 2002 to 2010, he was also a member of the General Assembly of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County. In the following years his relationship with Oláh became gradually conflictual; the Fidesz did not nominee Oláh for the position of mayor in the 2010 local elections. According to Oláh, Seszták had a determining role in this decision. As Index.hu noted Seszták had as much influence in the Kisvárda local government as parliamentary group leader János Lázár in the National Assembly. As Member of Parliament, he joined the Christian Democratic People's Party (KDNP) parliamentary group. Seszták was a member of the Economic and Information Technology Committee between 2010 and 2014. He was elected Vice Chairman of the committee for brief time until his appointment as Minister of National Development in June 2014. According to his declaration of assets published in 2012, he was the second wealthiest MP after Socialist politician János Veres in that year.
