Cserna was elected Mayor of Dunaújváros in the local elections in October 2010. He replaced András Kálmán (MSZP) in that position.

Sexuality
According to some rumors Gábor Cserna's sexual orientation is homosexual. These rumors have circulated that 10 years ago Cserna's wife caught him cheated her with an other man. After that his wife abused him to required hospitalization. However Cserna said to ATV.hu that is a well-structured urban legend with the aim of discrediting him. According to the webpage Cserna has a strong opposition within the party and the Fidesz majority eroded in the General Assembly.[3]
