Chancellor Christian Stocker must be officially elected on March 29 at the ÖVP leader of the Federal Party Congress. Until now, the 65-year-old is only a chairman of management. In the future, four delegates must be on the side.
This is the future governor of Salzburg Karoline Edtstadler, governor of Upper Austria Thomas Stelzer, EU parliamentarian Sophia Kircher and the Vorarlberg Club chairman Veronika Martee. The election committee unanimously agreed on these politicians on Friday. The Federal Finance Officer must also be chosen on Saturday 29 March.
The party congress in Wiener Neustadt is planned to start at 1 p.m. “With three of the four female presidents and with some of the women in the representatives of almost 50 percent, this federal party conference, in addition to the jubilee year ’80 years ÖVP ‘, is also characterized by a positive change in the sense of the strong female handwriting of the People’s Party,” said Secretary Nico Marchetti.
Nehammer had the best results
Stocker cannot exceed the result of his predecessor in his election as chairman. Nehammer, who resigned after the failed first negotiations for a triple coalition, was elected party leader in an extraordinary party congress by 100 percent of the votes in 2022. In general, the ÖVP bosses traditionally receive fairly high results from their first chairman elections. Sebastian Kurz was chosen in 2017 with 98.7 percent, Reinhold Mitterlehner 2014 with 99.1 percent.
