election campaign and challenges

The election campaign 2025 is described as a "non-election campaign", shaped by specific topics such as the controversial Lobau motorway. Experts of vienna.at predict a solid victory of the SPÖ. Mayor Michael Ludwig is perceived as a dominant figure that outshines other candidates.

The lower turnout, due to possible "election fatigue", could be one of the challenges for all parties. According to the forecasts, a move in by KPÖ and Team HC Strache is seen as almost excluded.

Overall, with only minimal movements in the surveys since the beginning of the year, the election result remains open. The political landscape in Vienna is facing a crucial turning point, while the parties struggle for the support of voters.
