There has been speculation for a long time, but now it is certain: ÖVP politician Wolfgang Sobotka, currently chairman of the National Council, will turn his back on parliament in the autumn. Because he will no longer participate in the elections at the end of September.
The 68-year-old politician from Waidhofen an der Ybbs had already been ‘snatched’ from first place on the state list in Lower Austria last year. There were rumors at the time that Sobotka would also not be on the ÖVP’s federal list. “I am not designing prospects for the future today,” he emphasized to the “Krone”.
It is now clear: the former chairman of the National Council will no longer participate in the elections for the National Council on September 29, reports the “Kurier”. He decided this after a conversation with his family.
