2020 Austrian legislative election

The 2020 Austrian legislative election, held on September 29, 2019 (not 2020, as the election was announced in 2019), resulted in the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) led by Sebastian Kurz maintaining its majority in Parliament. The Social Democratic Party (SPÖ) faced losses, while new parties like the Greens gained seats. The election was a response to political shifts following corruption scandals that previously led Kurz’s government to resign. The ÖVP formed a coalition government with the Greens, emphasizing policies on climate change, immigration, and economic stability, reflecting Austria’s evolving political landscape.
