STORYLINE:
The crowd at Austrian People’s Party headquarters reacted on Sunday as the first projections for the national elections were released.

A projection indicated that the far-right Freedom Party had a lead over the governing conservatives in Austria’s national election on Sunday and was well-placed for its first win in a parliamentary vote.

The projection for ORF public television, based on partial counting, put support for the Freedom Party at 29.1% in the parliamentary election and Chancellor Karl Nehammer’s Austrian People’s Party on 26.2%. The center-left Social Democrats were in third place with 20.4%.

Herbert Kickl, a former interior minister and longtime campaign strategist who has led the Freedom Party since 2021, wants to become Austria’s new chancellor on the back of the first far-right national election win in post-World War II Austria.

But to become Austria’s new leader, he would need a coalition partner to command a majority in the lower house of parliament -- and rivals have said they won’t work under Kickl.
