National Council: Nehammer Leaves

For the former Chancellor, this could represent the final withdrawal from top-level politics. After he could not agree on a three-party coalition with the SPÖ and the NEOS and the latter left the negotiations, Nehammer also announced the talks with the Social Democrats a week ago. Just on Saturday evening, he announced his resignation as Chancellor and ÖVP leader. The party has now been taken over by the former Secretary General Christian Stocker, who is now working with the FPÖ on a government agreement, with the chairmanship of the current government being entrusted to Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg until further notice.
