People's Party Karlstein loses mandate: Who wins the elections?

In the municipal council election in Karlstein, the People's Party (VP) suffered a bitter setback by losing three of its mandates. Despite this loss, the VP continues to hold the absolute majority in the local council with 13 seats. The SPÖ remains stable with two mandates that are occupied by MPs Harald and Markus Böhm.
