Prominent names
Because of sweets: who is celebrating a comeback in the National Council
The formation of the government has also had an impact on the National Council, as twelve former MPs have been rewarded with a ministerial post or a state secretariat. This has resulted in various (prominent) comebacks.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The ÖVP (51 MPs in total) has seen the most changes. Christian Stocker now heads the federal government as Chancellor, while Gerhard Karner, Klaudia Tanner and Norbert Totschnig retain their portfolios of Home Affairs, National Defense and Agriculture. The previous State Secretary Claudia Plakolm became Minister; Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer, who had only been a member of the National Council since October 24, 2024, became Minister of Economic Affairs. This means there will be successions.
Six successors for the ÖVP
Lower Austrians Friedrich Ofenauer, Mayor of Markersdorf-Haindorf (St. Pölten-Land district) and federal and regional farmer Irene Neumann-Hartberger from Hohe Wand (Wiener Neustadt-Land district) as well as Johann Weber from Carinthia and Rudolf Taschner from Vienna are returning to the National Council.
New members are Thomas Elian from Schwarzau am Steinfeld in the district of Neunkirchen in Lower Austria, where he is ÖVP municipal party chairman and managing councillor, and Jakob Grüner, a lawyer in Innsbruck. The ÖVP has 37.25 percent women in the National Council (19 women out of 51 MPs).
Four SPÖ by-elections
The SPÖ has four by-elections. Eva Maria Holzleitner 's Upper Austrian seat means the return of Elisabeth Feichtinger. Jörg Leichtfried's seat goes to Manfred Harrer from Eastern Styria. In addition, two seats on the federal list became vacant. These go to former State Secretary Muna Duzdar and Federal Managing Director Klaus Seltenheim.
In the NEOS party, the seats of Beate Meinl-Reisinger and Josef Schellhorn must be filled. The Carinthian state spokesman Janos Juvan will move up via the federal list and the IT employee Ines Holzegger via the Vienna state list.
