Despite the poor polls and numerous resignations – the “Krone” reported in detail – the change will come with the 24th Ordinary State Party Conference of the ÖVP in Alpbach. Former Economic Councilor Anton Mattle is elected as the new party chairman.
More than two and a half months before the federal elections on September 25, not all is luck in the Tyrolean ÖVP. At the congress of the state party in the congress center in Alpbach they want to initiate a turnaround. About 800 supporters, including 350 voters, did not miss the event. Among the guests is Chancellor Karl Nehammer.
Chancellor did not skimp on praise
Chancellor Karl Nehammer praised the top Tyrolean candidate and said he was “impressed” that Mattle Platter followed suit. Thanks also went to Platter, who had always shown himself combative and passionate, but at the same time always remained human.
After more than 13 years, the presidency of the outgoing governor Günther Platters ends. LR Anton Mattle is elected new party leader. A 90 percent target was set in advance, the APA reports. The results are expected around 1 p.m. An IMAD poll commissioned by the “Krone” recently sparked unrest, according to which the ÖVP has only 30 percent of the vote.
