Sebastian Kurz said that he and his party have “received a great responsibility” in his first remarks since polls closed.
He said that he would “fight with all his power and full commitment for his country” to “create a new culture” and “change the country into a positive one”.
FPO leader Heinz-Christian Strache has also spoken, telling supporters: “The voter is always right. The ongoing hounding of us libertarians did not work.”
As his party battles with SPO for second place, he added: “We will wait for the end results.”
Christian Kern admitted that his party has made “mistakes”.
He conceded defeat to Mr Kurz, adding: “The ball is now in the president’s court, then it will be with the ÖVP leader.”
