After Lower Austrian election: excitement over basic mandate for Babler
Following the Lower Austrian municipal elections, SPÖ federal party leader Andreas Babler was awarded a basic mandate in his home town of Traiskirchen. This would have provided him with an additional income. However, contrary to initial reports, he does not want to accept this mandate after all.
The SPÖ suffered major losses (minus 11.99 percentage points) in Sunday's municipal elections in Andreas Babler's home town of Traiskirchen (Lower Austria, district of Baden). 23 of the 37 seats in the town hall are five fewer than in 2020.
Absolute majority maintained
Despite this, the SPÖ still held a clear absolute majority with 59.54%, and yet former mayor Babler himself still did particularly well. He received so many preferential votes that he was directly elected to the next municipal council.
However, contrary to initial reports from the town in Lower Austria, the SPÖ leader will not accept his mandate. He will explain this to his local comrades in an internal meeting on Thursday.
Babler was head of the town of Traiskirchen for ten years
Babler stepped down as mayor of his "beloved hometown" at the end of October 2024 after more than ten years in office. He had been at the helm since April 29, 2014 and had achieved more than 70 percent in two municipal council elections. In 2015 it was 73.10 percent, five years later it was still 71.53 percent.
Divoky as preferred vote empress
On Sunday, Sabrina Divoky achieved by far the best result in the preferential votes in Traiskirchen.
2324 were cast for Babler's successor. The neo-mayor was the only candidate to reach four figures in the personal nominations.
