Timeline
Karl Nehammer (born 18 October 1972) is an Austrian politician who is the 32nd and current chancellor of Austria since 6 December 2021.
Nehammer grew up in Vienna, where he attended Kalksburg Grammar School and subsequently Amerlingstrasse Grammar School, graduating in 1992.
He completed his military service as a one-year volunteer with further service until 1996.
In 1997 he was discharged as a lieutenant.
He then worked as an instructional trainer for information officers for the Federal Ministry of Defence and as a trainer for strategic communication for various institutions, such as the Vocational Promotion Institute (BFI) and the Political Academy of the Austrian People's Party.
He was then head of the service and mobilisation department at the party headquarters from 2007 to 2008 and the training and networking department from 2008 to 2009.
He then became director of the party academy's Lower Austria association and was considered close to then-deputy governor Wolfgang Sobotka.
From 2012, Nehammer completed a two-year university course in political communication at the University for Continuing Education Krems and graduated with a master's degree.
Nehammer is a member of the Catholic Austrian Students' Corporations Sonnberg Perchtoldsdorf within the Mittelschüler-Kartellverband.
Nehammer became active within the ÖVP party organisation after leaving the military, initially working with the party academy.
In October 2015, Nehammer was appointed deputy general-secretary and federal organizational speaker of the Austrian Workers' Union (ÖAAB), the trade union association of the ÖVP.
During the 2016 Austrian presidential election, he was appointed replacement manager for the ÖVP's Andreas Khol partway through the campaign, but was unable to save him from a historically poor result of 11%.
He succeeded August Wöginger as general-secretary of the ÖAAB in 2016 and held this position until January 2018.
In November 2016, he was also elected regional chairman of the ÖAAB Vienna.
Since April 2017, he has been district party chairman of the ÖVP in Vienna-Hietzing.
In the 2017 federal election, Nehammer was elected as a representative for Vienna.
During the subsequent government formation, he was a member of the ÖVP negotiating team in the area of defence.
He was elected as deputy chairman of the ÖVP parliamentary faction on 8 November and was appointed media spokesman.
On 25 January 2018, he succeeded Elisabeth Köstinger and Stefan Steiner as general-secretary of the ÖVP.
In September 2018, he also succeeded Efgani Dönmez as spokesman for integration and migration.
Nehammer ran in the 2019 federal election in fifth place in the ÖVP Vienna state list, and eleventh place on the ÖVP federal list.
He was also one of the ÖVP's five assessors at the electoral authority during the election.
In the course of the subsequent government formation, he negotiated in the areas of Europe, migration, integration, and security.
Nehammer was appointed minister of the interior in the second Kurz government, and was sworn in on 7 January.
A member of the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP), he previously was Minister of the Interior from 2020 to 2021, general secretary of the ÖVP from 2018 to 2020, as well as a member of the National Council from 2017 to 2020.
Nehammer assumed the chancellorship as the successor of Alexander Schallenberg, who resigned to return as Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Under his leadership, the Austrian government filed charges in mid-2020 against a person who had confessed to spying for Turkey's secret service.
He was one of three public crisis managers during the COVID-19 pandemic, with responsibility for the enforcement of lockdowns and restrictions.
He is considered a strong supporter of Sebastian Kurz's refugee policy.
Nehammer led the government response following the 2020 Vienna attack.
He described the attacker as an "Islamist terrorist" and a sympathiser of the Islamic State, and admitted that intelligence services under his jurisdiction had failed to communicate information that could have prevented the attack.
Nehammer's wife and children received police protection as a result of death threats received after the attack.
Kurz remained as leader of the ÖVP until 2 December, when he announced his retirement from politics.
Soon afterwards, Schallenberg announced he would not seek the leadership and would resign as chancellor in favour of the new ÖVP leader once one had been elected.
On 3 December, Nehammer was provisionally appointed as leader of the ÖVP by the federal party committee and proposed as chancellor.
In an extraordinary party convention on 14 May 2022, Nehammer was elected ÖVP chairman by 100% of the votes.
During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Nehammer visited the Ukrainian capital Kyiv on 9 April 2022, and then Moscow, where he met Russian president Vladimir Putin on 12 April 2022.
