ÖVP loses massive: SPÖ celebrations in elections in Vorarlberg!

There were significant changes in the municipal council elections in Vorarlberg. The SPÖ celebrated a triumphant victory in Bregenz: Mayor Michael Ritsch was confirmed with 51 percent of the votes in the first ballot. This represents a clear defeat for the candidate of the ÖVP, Roland breakfast, who received only 30 percent. Ritsch not only overtook the reigning long -term mayor Markus Linhart from the ÖVP, but also ensured that the SPÖ was again in the city council in front of the People's Party since 1995, such as The press reported.

Not everywhere was so smooth for the SPÖ. In Bludenz she had to accept bitter setbacks, lost three mandates and could not reach the hoped -for runoff election. Mayor Simon Tschann from the ÖVP prevailed as well as in Feldkirch against Mario Head of the SPÖ and remains city chief. In Lustenau and Dornbirn, on the other hand, there are key elections in which the future of the mayoral offices is decided. In Nenzing and Feldkirch, the ÖVP is at the top, but faces the FPÖ, which wants to defend their dominance in these communities, which makes the electoral policy scenarios even more exciting, as ORF Vorarlberg carried out.

stitch elections and significant results

The upcoming stitch elections in Lustenau, Dornbirn and other communities promise to deliver exciting duels. In Nenzing, the FPÖ was unable to maintain its decades of rule and now has to go into the runoff election, while the ÖVP posted stronger results in other regions such as Hohenems and Vandan. While the SPÖ cheers in Bregenz, the ÖVP has its successes, especially in smaller communities such as Tschagguns, where it was the only applicant with 100 percent of the vote. The Greens celebrated success in Höchst with the Mayor Stefan Verstenhör, while the NEOS could only have greater progress in specific communities.
