As the "Krone" reported two weeks ago, the SPÖ in Margareten is replacing the candidate for the post of district leader two months before the election. The previous district leader Silvia Jankovic was not re-elected on Monday evening in the district committee as the first on the list and therefore as the designated district leader. Jankovic: "I take note of the decision with great regret and will work for Margareten until the last minute."

Unrest in the social media 
She will be replaced by the current Chair of the Economic Commission, Christoph Lipinksi. Incidentally, the district won't say anything about the result of the vote when asked by Krone. In any case, the decision is causing a stir on social media - not ideal so close to an election. The previous local councillor Stephan Auer-Stüger (also SPÖ-Margareten) also lost the vote against Alexandra Rezaei. She will now take his place.
