Vienna: The far right won an Austrian regional election by landslide on Sunday, securing its grip on the Alpine country after a historic victory in the legislative ballot in late September.
The Freedom Party (FPOe) secured 35 percent of the vote in the southeastern state of Styria, up by 17 percent on the 2019 results.
They defeated the conservatives with a score of 26.8 percent and the social-democrats with 21.1 percent, according to the final results aired by broadcaster ORF.
The vote marks the first time the far right comes out victorious in the region, which is currently ruled by left- and right-wing parties.
A former defence minister between December 2017 and May 2019, FPOe candidate Mario Kunasek's campaign focused on anti-immigration rhetoric and defending car owners.
