Austria: FPO candidate Strache casts vote in general election

Chancellor candidate for the Freedom Party of Austria (FPO) Heinz-Christian Strache cast his vote in Vienna as Austria's general election got underway, Sunday. He was seen headed into a polling station in the city's third district, while accompanied by his mother.
In brief comments to the press after casting his ballot, Strache said he aims to "gain greater trust and hopefully achieve the historical best result for the Freedom party," although hoping that "perhaps more is possible."
Strache is forecast to finish third in the elections, closely running behind the conservative People's Part (OVP) candidate Sebastian Kurz, and the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPO) candidate and current Austrian Chancellor Christian Kern.
