The largest party in the city, the Vienna SPÖ, will finalize its candidate lists for the Vienna election next Monday. The committees will meet in the morning. In the afternoon, the lists for the municipal council and district council elections will be presented to the public. The people of Vienna are called to the polls on April 27.

The election was originally scheduled for the fall. However, the red-pink coalition decided to bring it forward. Mayor and SPÖ Chairman Michael Ludwig, along with NEOS leader Christoph Wiederkehr, announced this in mid-January during a government retreat.

SPÖ Lists Coming on Monday

The lineup of red candidates will be presented on Monday at 1:30 PM by State Party Secretary Barbara Novak and Party Leader Ludwig. A media event has been scheduled in the premises of the City Hall Club. Just before that, the lists will be approved by the Vienna SPÖ committees.

There is no doubt that Ludwig will be the top candidate again. Immediately behind him on the list will likely be the current city councilors.

Not Just Vienna Election?

And even though the event will focus on the , it is assumed that federal politics will also play a significant role. Mayor Ludwig has announced his intention to actively participate in any potential new government negotiations involving the SPÖ. Questions on this topic are likely to be expected at the press conference.
