On Saturday afternoon, Chancellor Christian Stocker must be able to officially call himself the party chairman of the ÖVP. In his hometown he is first chosen by the delegates on the 41st ordinary federal party conference, so far Stocker has only been chairman.
It can even be easier to become Chancellor of Austria as the mayor of Wiener Neustadt. At least you would think that if you look at the career of Christian Stocker. The Chancellor who visited the ÖVP crisis session at the beginning of January with the intention of resigning as a general secretary and then left the same session as a designated ÖVP boss. Stocker will finally get rid of his designation on Saturday.
Stocker has a home game on Saturday in the Arena Nova in Wiener Neustadt. For the Freestyle van Stocker at the Federal Party Conference, the Mighty ÖVP Lower Austria even postponed the state celebrations for the 80 -year anniversary of the party at the beginning of April. Honor to those who owe honor. This impression was also won at the party conference itself.
Almost all party styles of Sebastian Kurz, Michael Spindelegger, Erwin and Josef Pröll, Wilhelm Molterer and Wolfgang Schüssel and the two -time transition khanelier Alexander Schallenberg were expected in advance. In addition to Stocker, Stocker’s predecessor must also talk to Chancellor Karl Nehammer, the new Secretary General Nico Marchetti and club chairman August Wöginger.
New substitute
A total of 2000 guests will be there, and about a third of them are delegates who have the right to vote. In addition to Stocker, three delegates and one representative are chosen. These are the future governor of Salzburg, Karoline Edtstadler, the Tyrolean EU parliamentarian Sophia Kircher, Vorarlberg Club chairman Veronika Marte and Governor Thomas Stelzer. The last two were previously chairman and deputy. Barbara Eibinger-Miedl, currently also deputy, was no longer set up. She wanted to fully concentrate at her office as State Secretary, said it of the ÖVP.
Not to be at the top
The festival was already at the start of the party parliament: Stocker’s election result cannot surpass Stocker. 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. Kurz was chosen in 2017 with 98.7 percent, Mitterlehner 2014 with 99.1 percent.
