Austrian legislative election, 1966

Austrian legislative election, 1966

The elections to the Austrian National Council of 1966 resulted in a victory for the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) headed by Josef Klaus. The ÖVP was able to end the coalition with the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) and rule alone during the following four years.

Among the parties participating in the election was a short-lived right-wing populist party headed by Franz Olah, a former Minister of Interior Affairs who had been expelled by the SPÖ in 1964. His party, the "Demokratische Fortschrittliche Partei" (Democratic Progressive Party – DFP) gained more than 3% of votes, but no seats in parliament.
