Despite poor poll numbers, ÖVP top candidate Karl Mahrer looked positively at the result of the Vienna election on Sunday during the voting.

ÖVP top candidate Karl Mahrer cast his vote at noon with an "incredibly good feeling" at the VHS Landstraße in Vienna. He felt "real momentum," he said to journalists. He also expected to achieve his election goal - namely to become strong enough for the ÖVP to take responsibility in Vienna again. To this end, he is aiming for a "fire extinguisher coalition" with the SPÖ.

When asked about the significant loss predicted by polls, Mahrer admitted that "something will change this time" compared to the 2020 election. After all, that election brought a "record result" for the ÖVP in a positive sense, but a "record loss" for the FPÖ. It is now not just about percentages.
