Ex-FPÖ leader Heinz-Christian Strache admitted Sunday evening, in light of the clear failure in the Vienna election with only 1.1 percent of the vote according to projections, that he failed with his list.

Despite a cordial atmosphere on the street, "we naturally recognize the will of the Viennese voters that there is no place desired for me and my HC team in Vienna city politics - except for a few possible district councilors," he posted on Facebook.

The former Vice Chancellor Strache had run for the second time in the Vienna City Council election with his own list, after being expelled from the FPÖ following the Ibiza affair in 2019. In 2020, his result was better, but even then he clearly failed to meet the five percent threshold for entry into the city parliament with 3.3 percent. His list was only represented in some district councils.
