Vienna ÖVP: Figl will be officially elected as party leader on September 27

The Vienna ÖVP will officially elect their new leader Markus Figl as party chairman on September 27 during a party conference. A party spokesperson confirmed a corresponding report by the "Kurier" to the APA on Monday. Figl is the district leader of the Inner City.

Figl had already been appointed acting chairman

He had already been appointed acting chairman after the ÖVP's defeat in the Vienna election on April 27. Already on the Monday after the election, Figl was entrusted with the new task by the committees. He was able to prevail in a party meeting against the Döbling district leader Daniel Resch.

The previous party leader Karl Mahrer had resigned from his position in light of the massive losses. The ÖVP fell from just over 20 percent back below the 10 percent mark in the municipal council election.
