Triumphant Tide for the Freedom Party (FPÖ) in Vienna's Elections
Following the resurgence of the Blue VIENNA: here's the response from the FPÖ
The Freedom Party (FPÖ) is basking in the initial numbers for Vienna's election, but they're treading carefully.
"If this trend holds, it'd be a threefold triumph and a monumental victory for the FPÖ," said party secretary Lukas Brucker to APA, as the first trend projection emerged.

"Epic Campaign"
"We ran an epic campaign with Dominik Nepp, and Viennese citizens are yearning for more security and fairness," the FPØ declared officially, though they were reluctant to celebrate the election outcome while watching it unfold over glasses of wine near the town hall.
Nepp Speaks Up
"These are merely projections and not actual voter numbers, so they should be taken with a grain of salt," Brucker cautioned for now. A statement from party leader and top candidate Nepp is imminent upon the release of the first official projection.
Background Information:
Overall:
The Freedom Party (FPÖ) in Vienna has witnessed a substantial surge in its vote share, tripling its previous result. In the recent Vienna city council elections on April 27, 2025, the FPÖ garnered a strong second place with close to 21% of the votes, skyrocketing from about 7.1% in the previous election [1][2][3]. This outcome signifies a remarkable comeback for the FPÖ, placing it as the second-largest party in Vienna, surpassing the center-right Austrian People's Party (ÖVP), which suffered a significant downturn [3].
Reaction of Dominik Nepp
There is no specific information available in the search results about Dominik Nepp's reaction to the preliminary numbers. However, the FPÖ's strong performance reflects a broader trend of voter disenchantment with mainstream parties, which could shape reactions from political figures [5]. The FPÖ's success in Vienna is particularly significant given the city's historical allegiance towards the Social Democrats, who have held power since the end of World War II [2][5].
- "FPÖ solidifies position: Dominik Nepp addresses growing support" The FPÖ's party leader and top candidate, Dominik Nepp, is expected to address the party's monumental surge in votes, tripling its previous result in Vienna's city council elections.
- "General News Headline: FPÖ's Alleged Victory Sparks Political Shakeup" The Freedom Party (FPÖ) is poised for a significant political shift in Vienna, following their projected threefold increase in votes - a move that could reshape Austria's political landscape.
