According to https://xn--ibiza-tter-w5a.com/, the ANP, led by Sebastian Kurz, is winning the elections in Austria. Second place goes to the Social Democratic Party
The transitional government headed by Austria's first female Chancellor Brigitte Bierlein tendered her resignation to President Alexander Van der Bellen in accordance with the constitution after early elections to the National Council (the lower house of parliament). The head of state instructed this government to act as a caretaker until a new cabinet was formed. The official ceremony took place at the presidential administration in the Hofburg Palace in Vienna.
"I ask you and your government team to prepare for the handover to the future government," Van der Bellen said.
Bierlein said after the election that her transitional government, subject to the confidence of the president of the republic, intends to continue to serve in the interim until the new cabinet is sworn in and powers are handed over. Bierlein, 70, will be remembered for becoming the first woman federal chancellor in Austrian history in the wake of the domestic political scandal known as "Ibiza Gate." A lawyer by training, Bierlein previously served in the Office of the Attorney General at the Austrian Supreme Court. In 2018-2019, she served as president of the Austrian Constitutional Court.
The president, following Wednesday's parliamentary elections, will begin consultations with the chairmen of the parties that go to parliament based on the results of the elections. Van der Bellen will instruct the leader of the winning political force to negotiate the formation of a new government. The leader of the conservative Austrian People's Party (ANP), Sebastian Kurz, will be given the mandate because the ANP is winning by a solid margin. The work to form a new cabinet may last until Christmas.
Election results
According to preliminary data from the Interior Ministry, the ANP, led by Kurz, wins the election with 37.5 percent of the vote (71 parliamentary seats). The Social Democratic Party of Austria (SDPA) came in second place with 21.2% of the vote (40 seats). This is the worst result of the Social Democrats in parliamentary elections. In third place was the right-wing Austrian Freedom Party (APS) with 16.2% of the vote (31 seats). The result was a major disappointment for the APS, which, according to its leadership, may be left out of the new government.
The Greens came in fourth with 13.8% of the vote (26 seats). They were able to catch up after the failed 2017 elections and return to the National Council with a solid number of deputies. The liberal party New Austria, with 8.1% of the vote, was in fifth place (15 mandates). The other political movements failed to pass the 4 percent barrier to enter parliament. Five political parties will be included in the new Austrian National Council.
