Gepp in luck

ÖVP-Korneuburg holds the absolute despite squabbling

Christian Gepp holds the majority in Korneuburg. Stockerau's mayor Andrea Völkl is also satisfied with her election result. The Freedom Party celebrates big gains in the district ...

Pretty much everything remains the same, you could say in summary: a few percent more here, a few percent less here. However, there will be no major changes in the district of Korneuburg (at present).

Even the debates surrounding the possible development of the shipyard site in the district capital did not cause a political earthquake. "We guarantee that the peninsula will not be built on and used by speculators," promised SPÖ Deputy Mayor Bernadette Haider-Wittmann before the election.

Topic off the table
ÖVP city leader Christian Gepp also made it clear that he is now also against a construction project: the issue was therefore off the table. Gepp was able to retain his majority, but lost three seats. The FPÖ made the biggest gain in the city, winning three seats. The SPÖ list of Deputy Mayor Bernadette Haider-Wittman was able to gain two seats.
ÖVP in Stockerau "sovereign", district "bluer"

 Stockerau's mayor Andrea Völkl, on the other hand, is pleased with her confident result of 40 percent. However, she will need a coalition partner. In Ernstbrunn (65.2%), Hausleiten (63%) and Großrußbach (73.5%), the Black Party also crossed the (election) finishing line with a clear lead. The SPÖ achieved its top result in Enzersfeld in the Weinviertel with 43.7%, the FPÖ with 33.3% in Gerasdorf bei Wien (from 6 to 12 municipal council seats). Overall, the Freedom Party made the biggest gains in the district: This translates into an increase of 42 municipal council seats.
