Austrian Social Democrats declare wrong winner due to technical error.
Austria's Social Democrats announced the wrong winner of their leadership election due to a "technical error by a colleague with an Excel table" during the tabulation of the results. Leftist small-town mayor Andreas Babler won with 53% of the vote, instead of populist governor Hans Peter Doskozil. The mistake was discovered during a recount on Monday. It is unclear whether the election fiasco will thrust the party, currently polling second behind the far-right Freedom Party, into deeper turmoil.
