Landtag election 2024: Surprise victory of the FPÖ in the district of Deutschlandsberg

The state election 2024 in Styria is over and the first results draw a clear picture. A total of 941,509 people entitled to vote made their votes in the district of Deutschlandsberg. This choice was particularly spectacular because it entails many changes in the political structure of the country.

The FPÖ has emerged as the great winner in the district. With 40.64 percent of the vote, the Freedom Party achieved a result that is well above the national average. This resounding success is reflected in the first projections and represents a remarkable trend that will significantly influence the political landscape in the region. "The blue wave impressed us," said the district party chairman of the FPÖ.

losses for the traditional parties

In contrast, the ÖVP had to accept a bitter defeat with 27.5 percent. State Councilor Werner Amon, also ÖVP district party chairman, spoke of painful losses and attributed the failures to the insufficient support of the FPÖ in government formation at the federal level. This had a negative impact on the ÖVP, also in traditional strongholds of the party.

The result of the SPÖ is also essential, which was also behind the expectations with 20.92 percent. Despite intensive efforts to position the previous deputy governor Anton Lang strongly, the hoped-for election success failed to materialize.

A look at the other districts in Styria shows similar trends. The choice has not only made it clear the addition of the votes, but also the relocation of power and influence. Political analysts now expect a tense post -election period in which the parties have to rethink their strategies.
