The Freedom Party secured the first far-right national parliamentary election victory in post-World War II Austria, tapping into anxieties about immigration, inflation, and Ukraine.
With preliminary results showing the Freedom Party finishing first with 29.2% of the vote, the chances of Herbert Kickl becoming chancellor remain uncertain, lacking coalition partners.
Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer's People's Party came in second with 26.5%, indicating a substantial shift in voter sentiment and a loss of majority for the outgoing coalition.
Herbert Kickl, who became the focal point of the Freedom Party's campaign, aims for the chancellorship despite rivals' assertions that they won't form a government with him.
