Franz Mold as top candidate: Change in the ÖVP-Zwettl

Franz Mold, the current mayor of Zwettl, was set up as the top candidate for the upcoming municipal council election of the ÖVP in 2025. At the ÖVP's nomination meeting last week, he received the backing of his party by a unanimous decision. It is an important choice that will take place on January 26, 2025.

However, there are significant changes within the party: Four city councilors will no longer compete in the election. Anne Blauensteiner, Manfred Weissinger, Josef Zlabinger and Johannes Prinz have announced that they are withdrawing from politics. These departures are in contrast to Mold's announcement, which wants to maintain his place at the top.

changes in the city council

The decision of these city councilors not to run anymore gives the ÖVP the opportunity to put fresh faces on their list. It remains to be seen who the party will present as new candidates and which strategies they want to develop to mobilize voters.

For many, Mold’s renewed candidacy is a sign of continuity and stability, especially in times when political changes are common. His nomination could indicate that the party is aiming for a solid basis for the election campaign, even if it has to deal with the loss of experienced members at the same time.

The coming weeks and months will be decisive to see which steps Mold and the ÖVP will take to convince the voters of their program. Details on the other developments are In a current article www.noen.at published.
