In April 28 regional parliamentary elections, the conservative Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP) maintained its position as the leading party in the Austrian state, with 39.6 per cent of the vote. However, the outcome was the worst ever score for the party in the Tyrol.
The socialists of the SPÖ, who were placed second with 13.8 per cent, will also have to contend with a decline in support, which saw them post their worst ever result in the state.
They were nonetheless ahead of the Greens (12.1 per cent) and “Forward Tyrol” — a party created by ÖVP dissidents, which scored 9.3 per cent. The far right FPÖ obtained 9.6 per cent, a decline of 2.8 per cent compared with its performance in 2008.
