Austria’s conservative People’s Party (\u00d6VP), led by 31-year-old Sebastian Kurz, is set to win the country’s general election, projections suggest.<\/p>\n

The victory would make Mr Kurz the world’s youngest national leader.<\/p>\n

The People’s Party was set to win 31.5%, followed by the Social Democrats with 27.1% and the far-right Freedom Party (FP\u00d6) with 25.9%.<\/p>\n

Short of a majority, Mr Kurz’s party could seek an alliance with the FP\u00d6, which campaigned against immigration.<\/p>\n

Who is Sebastian Kurz?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before the election, Mr Kurz served as Europe’s youngest-ever foreign minister, after he was appointed in 2013 aged just 27.<\/p>\n

In May 2017 he became the leader of the \u00d6VP. He began his political career in the youth wing of the party, which he chaired before moving on to serve on Vienna’s city council.<\/p>\n

Nicknamed “Wunderwuzzi” (roughly translated – someone who can walk on water), he has been compared to the young leaders of France and Canada, Emmanuel Macron and Justin Trudeau.<\/p>\n

Much like Mr Macron, Mr Kurz has created a movement around himself, rebranding the \u00d6VP – which has been in power for more than 30 years – as “The New People’s Party”.<\/p>\n
