The state party leader of the Viennese SPÖ, Mayor Michael Ludwig (SPÖ), was re-elected on Saturday with 94.4 percent. A total of 875 delegates took part in the voting at Messe Wien. Ludwig has been head of the Vienna Reds since 2018.
At the last party congress to date in 2019, he got 90.8 percent. Since then there has been no more meeting. The corona pandemic caused the party congress, originally scheduled for 2019, to be postponed twice.
