Mattle wants to stay
Tyrol’s ÖVP chairman and top candidate Anton Mattle wants to remain despite almost ten percentage points minus and for the time being only 34.5 percent and form a state government. They started a “race to overtake” and this eventually worked, Mattle said. He will not ask the question of confidence to the party board of the ÖVP on Monday.
The state party started the election campaign with 29 percent, Mattle said. It was possible to get voters back, albeit: “We lost, we are aware of that”. But we will do everything we can to regain this trust.
