Mikl-Leitner sets sights on the year 2028
Taking Charge: Johanna Mikl-Leitner's Decision for 2028
Here we are again, chatting about Johanna Mikl-Leitner's upcoming political journey. Ourource.com asked the 61-year-old ÖVP powerhouse if she'd be up for another spin as the top candidate in the 2028 state election — her response was as clear as a bell: "Count me in! I am more than happy to stick around as the state governor and I aim to keep going!"
Gears are already in motion behind the scenes — or so they say, though no one's counting election cycles just yet. On Wednesday, over 1,500 eager ÖVP supporters gathered at the VAZ St. Pölten to get the lowdown on the "Mission Lower Austria." The slogan: "Building the Best Future for Our Kids."
Mikl-Leitner's Moment:Mikl-Leitner's plan is to present herself as a protective maternal figure, ensuring everyone is taken care of. She also aims to instill confidence in these economically challenging times. Her promises? Creating well-paid, local jobs.
** peace and Harmony**For now, Mikl-Leitner enjoys a peaceful ride. Small rebellions that surfaced post-2023 state election have been swiftly quashed. She managed to ease Kurt Hackl, her favored candidate, into the ÖVP club chair without a hitch, maintaining her strong grip on the reins.
A Freedom Party PresenceBut the Freedom Party is still around. The coalition (or, as Mikl-Leitner prefers, "working group") with the FPÖ at the state level has left many in her party and others scratching their heads. The fact that the Blues are gaining ground locally doesn't help either. Freedom-loving mayors have started popping up, but FPÖ state chairman Udo Landbauer has grander plans.
The "Mission Lower Austria" is also a strategic move to prepare the Lower Austrian People's Party for the upcoming state election. Many within the party — even in Lower Austria — have learned a hard lesson: Anyone aiming to overshadow the FPÖ on the right will fall flat. Just ask Karl Mahrer in Vienna.
