SPÖ wins in Währing: the course of the election surprises and changes the picture

In the Währing district, the National Council election delivered surprising results. While at the national level the SPÖ had to accept a decline in third place, it was able to record substantial profits in Währing and fight back to first place with a vote of 23.96 percent. This represents an increase of almost seven percentage points compared to the 2019 election.

The FPÖ, which emerged as a winner across the country, only ended up in second place in Währing with 12 percent, also thanks to strong gains. On the other hand, this is a bitter choice for the Greens, who have suffered a dramatic decline in over ten percentage points in this district with 19.19 percent and have now been backed back to third place. The People's Party was also unable to convince with 20.45 percent and has to accept a loss of six percentage points. The NEOS, on the other hand, achieved 17.2 percent, while the KPÖ landed at 3.7 percent.

Different perspectives on the election results

In conversation with representatives of the different parties, the effects of the election were interpreted accordingly. The district leader of the Greens, Silvia Nossek, explained that the electorate often has changing preferences, and the current result should not even be determined in comparison to previous elections. "Other reasons for elections play a role in local elections," said Nossek. She believes that local problems can be solved more easily through direct contact with the citizens, which is particularly relevant with regard to the upcoming Vienna election.

The district party chairman of the SPÖ, Michael Trinko, sees the SPÖ's election victory confirmation of their work in the district. He emphasizes that the SPÖ has implemented numerous projects in recent years, such as the construction of an outdoor fitness system in Währinger Park and additional toilet facilities. These measures had contributed to improving the quality of life in the district and mobilizing the voters. Trinko is convinced that the SPÖ continues to meet its responsibility and want to work for the well -being of all citizens.

Such election results can be seen as an indicator of the political mood in the district and for future elections. The fact that the election forecasts and the actual results in Währing diverge could also indicate significant movements in voter behavior.
