The SPÖ was the clear winner in the on Sunday, but lost the absolute majority and now needs a partner to govern. Doskozil will meet Norbert Hofer (FPÖ), Christian Sagartz (ÖVP) and Anja Haider-Wallner (Greens) for personal talks in the next few days. The governor did not name a preference for who he wants to form a coalition with in the future. Speculations about which party could be the best fit were not commented on Tuesday.

As announced, the SPÖ will internally discuss the contents for the new government program chapter by chapter after the round of talks with potential partners on Saturday, and set the schedule for the most important projects. On this basis, the Reds then want to quickly "get down to business" with the new coalition partner, it was said. The public will be informed next Monday after the SPÖ party committees, with whom the program should be implemented in the state government.
