Deputy Governor Stephan Pernkopf (VP) rattled the district party centers in the late afternoon. When district party chairman Andreas Hanger in Amstetten reported that 32 out of 35 municipalities remained in the hands of the VP as usual, the city of Amstetten was also colored black on a poster, long before the last explosive was counted. The trend in the district capital from the already completed polling stations was so clear that the early success report is not screaming. Five years after Mayor Christian Haberhauer (VP) conquered the Red stronghold, he and his team continued by 0.35 percent and only became a victim of the election arithmetic that the blacks still lost one of their 19 mandates. Vice Mayor Gerhard Riegler (SP) had to admit that the message “now again!” for a return to golden years under the reign of the Social Democrats did not come across the voters. “But we are still a strong force in the city,” Riegler comforted that his party continued to have a blocking minority in some questions with over a third of the votes and 14 mandates (-2).
Haberhauer has announced that today he will have a conversation with the Greens that lost one of her three mandates. The mayor would love to continue the previous coalition with the Green Vice Mayor Dominic Hörlezeder, but the majority no longer run out for two. Haberhauer could get the NEOS who kept their municipal council mandate on board a triple coalition. “I’m going to have talks with everyone now,” he said yesterday.
Alexander Schnabel, professional soldier, member of the state parliament and the top candidate of the FP yesterday reported to the assembled press in the Kasernenton that he would like to take office as a “security city council” in the Senate as election winner with six mandates (+10.52 % of the votes). He is safe in the city council, it is questionable whether he receives this special department he wanted.
The SPÖ was most celebrated in St.Valentin. Member of the state parliament and city chief Kerstin Suchan with her “Valenteam” succeeded in topping the recent result of last to top and gained 5.89 percent for her absolute majority of town hall, which now keeps the SPÖ in St. Valentin 58.53 percent. “A result like labs on a social democratic soul,” she said overwhelmed by the result. The VP slipped to 20.78 percent, lost two mandates and is now even more behind the SP with seven seats in the town hall with 20 mandates.
The political beams crackled in the city of Haag. The absolute majority of the VP under Mayor Lukas Michlmayr (VP), of which many believed that it holds like iron, is gone. She broke the “for Haag” citizens’ list, which has been in the town hall for 35 years. “I believe that our control work has been rewarded,” says Mandatar Thomas Stockinger, “but that was not our only topic, but also many social concerns.” Michlmayr needs at least the SP with three mandates or the FP with two for his re -election.
