Christian Gepp holds the majority in Korneuburg. Stockerau's mayor Andrea Völkl is also satisfied with her election result. Few other surprises in the district ...

Pretty much everything remains the same, you could say in summary: a few percent more here, a few percent less here. However, there will be no major changes in the district of Korneuburg (at present).

Even the debates surrounding the possible development of the shipyard site in the district capital did not cause a political earthquake. "We guarantee that the peninsula will not be built on and used by speculators," promised SPÖ Deputy Mayor Bernadette Haider-Wittmann before the election.

Issue off the table, Stockerau remains "black"
ÖVP town leader Christian Gepp also made it clear that he was against a construction project: the issue was therefore off the table. Gepp was able to retain his majority, but lost three seats. The FPÖ also lost. However, the SPÖ list of Deputy Mayor Bernadette Haider-Wittman was able to gain two seats.
ÖVP "sovereign" in Stockerau

 Stockerau's mayor Andrea Völkl, on the other hand, was pleased with her confident result. In Ernstbrunn (65.2%), Hausleiten (63%) and Großrußbach (73.5%), the black party also crossed the (election) finishing line with a clear lead. The SPÖ achieved its top result in Enzersfeld in the Weinviertel with 43.7%, the FPÖ with 33.3% in Gerasdorf bei Wien.
