The Greens were able to reconquer Josefstadt.

The Viennese Josefstadt is colored. The Greens were able to defeat the ÖVP in the district council elections in Vienna’s 8th district, thus regaining the first place they lost in 2010.
Postal voters gave the Greens a success in the Vienna district council elections: they eventually removed Josefstadt from the ÖVP. With around 5,300 voters at the polls, the People’s Party with district chief Veronika Mickel was still ahead. Counting 7,300 voting cards, the Greens clearly rebounded, dropping 33.6 to 30.6 percent of the first place they had lost in 2010. Thus, their top candidate Martin Fabisch becomes district president.
Still overwhelmed! Thank you to all the voters for this task, which we humbly accept. Thanks to my great team! We are aware of the expectations. Thanks Josefstadt!

Greens in Vienna-Wieden in second place
The Greens did not achieve – even with the evaluation of the postal vote – the expected conquest of Wiedens: There the head of the SPÖ, Lea Halbwidl, with 33.2 percent kept the Greens (28.1 percent) clearly at a distance . There is now a greater distance in the city center, where this year, unlike in 2015, the ÖVP district president, Markus Figl, clearly prevailed against the SPÖ (22.9 percent) with 40.5 percent .
In Meidling and Brigittenau, the SPÖ left the FPÖ, which had generally collapsed this year, far behind: Meidling District President Wilfried Zankl, recently in office, increased the SPÖ’s result to 42.0 percent, while the FPÖ, in 2015, was second, 23rd. Aim for 6.8 percent. Similar at Brigittenau: there the SPÖ and Hannes Derfler rose to 45.0 percent, while the FPÖ rose to 7.4 percent (by 22.1 points).
