A projection indicates that Austria’s liberal president is on course to win a second six-year term without the need for a runoff vote. The projection showed President Alexander Van der Bellen winning 54.6% of the vote.
Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen looks on after casting his vote for the Austrian Presidential election in Vienna, Austria, Sunday, Oct. 9, 2022. Austria's liberal president is hoping to be re-elected on Sunday without the need for a runoff vote after a campaign in which he has cast himself as the stable option in uncertain times.
VIENNA — Austria’s liberal president was on course to win a second six-year term outright Sunday without the need for a runoff vote, projections showed. Projections for ORF public television and the Austria Press Agency shortly after the last polling stations closed in Sunday’s election showed President Alexander Van der Bellen winning 55.4% and 55.9% of the vote respectively. More than half the votes were already counted, and ORF gave a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
His closest rival, far-right Freedom Party candidate Walter Rosenkranz, was expected to get around 18% support. Campaign posters for the 78-year-old Van der Bellen, who hails from the environmentalist Green party but ran as an independent, featured the slogan “The Safe Choice in Stormy Times.” Austria has faced repeated political turmoil in recent years. It went through five chancellors during Van der Bellen’s first term, giving the often largely ceremonial head of state unusually high visibility.
