Herbert Kickl, leader of the far-right Freedom Party (FPO), has transformed from a background figure to becoming Austria’s ‘People’s Chancellor’, reflecting a significant electoral shift.
Despite concerns from opponents branding him a 'security risk', Herbert Kickl's FPO gained 28.8% of the vote in the September 2024 elections, making it Austria’s strongest party.
Polls reveal that while the FPO is popular, only 2% of voters attribute their choice primarily to Kickl himself, indicating broader party loyalty over individual charisma.
