KPÖ aims to surprise in the 2027 Upper Austrian state election
Published
The KPÖ has assembled its team for the upcoming state election in Upper Austria in 2027. The party wants to create a surprise in this election and win more votes than expected.
In the federal state of Styria, the KPÖ provides the mayor in the state capital Graz. This is a great success for the party, which in Austria is mainly known as a small party. In Salzburg, the KPÖ also unexpectedly won seats in the state parliament at the last state election. As a result, it now sits in the parliament of that federal state.
The successes in Graz and Salzburg show that the KPÖ finds support in several federal states. Whether it can also demonstrate this strength in Upper Austria will become clear at the election in 2027. Until then, the party will present its topics and candidates in the coming months.
The state election in Upper Austria is important for many people in the federal state, because policy on housing, work, and municipalities is decided there. For the KPÖ, it is an important opportunity to further expand its position in the Austrian party system.
