Social Democrat wins Austrian poll
Sunday, April 25, 2004 Posted: 7:18 PM EDT (2318 GMT)
VIENNA, Austria (AP) -- A senior parliamentary official on Sunday defeated a rival backed by right-wing populist Joerg Haider in a presidential election, preliminary results showed.
With 50 percent of ballots counted, Heinz Fischer, the candidate of the opposition Social Democrats, had close to 52 percent of the vote. Foreign Minister Benita Ferrero-Waldner, the conservative endorsed by Haider, had just over 48 percent.
Haider's backing of Ferrero-Waldner -- and her rival's critical stance toward the Austrian rightist, whose appeal extends to the neo-Nazi fringe -- added spice to an otherwise humdrum race for the mostly ceremonial position.
Although the post of president is largely ceremonial, the result was seen as a indicator of voter sentiment toward the government coalition midway through its term.
