Austria's Pivotal Election Weekend

Austria is poised for a crucial National Council election on Sunday, with FPÖ under Herbert Kickl leading the polls. The conservative ÖVP led by Karl Nehammer trails closely behind.

SPÖ under Andreas Babler, NEOS under Beate Meinl-Reisinger, and the Greens under Werner Kogler follow in the rankings. An unexpected contender, the Beer Party, also joins the fray.

Kickl advocates for strict immigration policies, while Nehammer rejects any coalition with him. Nehammer’s campaign focuses on traditional conservative values, aiming to regain voter confidence.

Despite internal party struggles, he remains a resilient candidate. The election's outcome could significantly reshape Austria's political landscape, with the final campaign rallies taking place on Saturday.
