SPÖ remains the election winner in Vienna - FPÖ gives up strongly and tripled voices!

Wien, Österreich - The Vienna election delivered an exciting result on Sunday that could have a lasting impact on the city's political landscape. According to the extrapolation of Foresight, the ** Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) ** under Mayor Michael Ludwig defends first place with 39.3 percent of the vote. However, this means a decline of 2.3 percentage points compared to the last election in 2020 when the SPÖ achieved 41.6 percent. Despite this loss, the SPÖ remains the dominant force in Vienna's city policy, while the ** Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) ** is promoted to second place with an impressive increase of 20.5 percent, which in fact corresponds to a tripling of its vote.

The ** Greens ** secure third place with 14.7 percent, which is almost unchanged compared to the 14.8 percent of 2020. In contrast to this, the ** Austrian People's Party (övp) ** had massive losses and recorded only 9.6 percent after 20.4 percent in the previous election. The ** Neos **, on the other hand, were able to grow slightly and come to 9.6 percent, which means an increase of 2.1 points. The ** Communist Party of Austria (KPÖ) ** reached 4.2 percent, while the Team Strache failed at the five percent hurdle with only 1.1 percent.

effects and analysis

The results of this choice are both a success and a challenge for the SPÖ, since it remains number one despite losses. This shows that voters in Vienna continue to trust the SPÖ and their mayor. The FPÖ, on the other hand, recorded a remarkable comeback success after being punished in 2020 due to the Ibiza scandal and the associated accusations of corruption. Your election result is a direct reaction to current topics such as high foreign shares and youth crime in the city.

Overall, there are some interesting perspectives for future political cooperation from the Vienna election, while the losers of the election, especially the ÖVP, need to work urgently on their strategy in order to regain the trust of voters. The Greens kept their result stable, which indicates continuing support for their environmental policy positions. How the political landscape in Vienna is developing and which coalitions are ultimately formed remains to be seen.
