Country Reports

After the national elections, Austria faces a long and difficult process of forming a government

by Sebastian Enskat, M.A., Johannes Spreitz, Michael Stellwag

Decision on direction postponed

What had been predicted in all opinion polls since 2023 has now become reality in figures: The right-wing populist Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) has emerged victorious from the election on September 29 with 28.8%, making it the strongest force in a National Council election for the first time ever in its approximately seventy-year history. While the FPÖ was still relatively close to first place in the European elections in June – for the first time in a nationwide election – this time it was two and a half percent behind the ruling Austrian People's Party (ÖVP), which lost around eleven percentage points of votes with a result of 26.3 percent.
