Austria election results: Far-right FPO wins, what’s next?
Al Jazeera
The OVP and the FPO can form a coalition government if Kickl gives up the chancellor position, experts say.
Austria’s far-right Freedom Party (FPO) has emerged victorious after the country’s parliamentary election on Sunday.
Here’s what comes next.
According to a projection based on the count of nearly all the votes by pollster Foresight for Austrian public broadcaster ORF:
While the FPO won the most votes, it did not win with a large enough margin to govern alone.
To form the government, a party requires a minimum of 92 out of 183 seats in the parliament, a number that Herbert Kickl’s FPO falls short of.
