STORYLINE:
The Hungarian parliament on Thursday elected Katalin Novak as the country's first female president for a five-year term, winning over economist Peter Rona in a vote split along party lines.
Novak, a former member of the government as minister without a portfolio for family affairs, is taking over from incumbent president Janos Ader, who is ending his second term as president.
Hungary's president is not a member of any political party and represents the unity of the Hungarian state. The Hungarian president's duties are largely ceremonial.
