Vienna ÖVP: Lorenz Mayer succeeds Peter Sverak

The 29-year-old was previously the deputy state manager, is the district party chairman in Meidling, and will also be part of the future municipal council, the state party announced on Wednesday. After the significant loss in the Vienna election at the end of April, not only did party leader Karl Mahrer resign, but also state manager Peter Sverak.

Lorenz Mayer is the new ÖVP state manager in Vienna

"Lorenz Mayer stands for both continuity and a fresh breeze - as the district party chairman in Meidling, he knows the concerns of the districts just as well as he is familiar with the state party," emphasized the new party chairman Markus Figl in a statement. Mayer himself sees the Viennese ÖVP in a challenging situation: "It is our task to reorganize ourselves and to offer the people of Vienna an attractive proposition in the coming weeks, months, and years."
