Reuters on the key take-aways from the Austrian election over the weekend:

  • Early projections showed the center-right People's Party (OVP), led by Sebastian Kurz, had won the most votes in Austria, with about 31 percent.
  • The FPO was vying with the center-left Social Democrats (SPO) for second place, with both parties between 26-27 percent.
  • Kurz could now look to form a coalition with the FPO, which was last part of a government in Austria between 2000 and 2005.
