Nobody had him on their radar: Christian Stocker will be the next Federal Chancellor. How the man lives and ticks who came to the board meeting in jeans and a sweater because he actually wanted to resign.

It is January 4th. Karl Nehammer has resigned as ÖVP chancellor. In the late evening hours, Christian Stocker leaves the Chancellery. On the majestic staircase, Stocker is resolute: "If the Chancellor resigns, then his Secretary General will leave too. I will announce my departure tomorrow."

He came in a sweater and jeans - wanted to resign
He came to the ÖVP board meeting on January 5, where Nehammer's successor was discussed, in jeans and a sweater - almost as a private citizen.
