Herbert Kickl, leader of Austria's far-right Freedom Party, is poised to capitalize on rising anti-migration sentiment and past government scandals, aiming for a major electoral victory.
Kickl's campaign draws from fears surrounding migration and crime, notably intensified by a recent alleged terrorist plot linked to the cancellation of pop concerts in Vienna.
The FPO's bounce in popularity, surging 11 points since the last election, reflects widespread public discontent with inflation, economic stagnation as well as past government missteps.
With echoes of historical rhetoric, Kickl has adopted the 'Volkskanzler' title, reminiscent of descriptions used for Adolf Hitler, as he rallies support for the FPO.
