Joint state and municipal elections will be held in Carinthia on 1 March 2009. Carinthia is the stronghold of the national conservative Alliance for the Future of Austria, whose founder Jörg Haider died in a car accident on 11 October 2008. He was also the incumbent governor; after his death, he was replaced by Gerhard Dörfler as governor, by Uwe Scheuch as Carinthian BZÖ leader and by his close personal friend Stefan Petzner as national BZÖ leader. The election is likely to see a strong contest between the SPÖ and the BZÖ over the post of governor, while the other Austrian parties (the ÖVP, the FPÖ and the Greens) play only a minor role in Carinthian politics.[1]
