Austria's far-right Freedom Party (FPOe) announced on Friday that it has ousted its former leader Heinz-Christian Strache, who was caught in a corruption scandal that saw the party ejected from government in May.
The date for early elections triggered by the so-called "Ibiza-gate" scandal which brought down Austria's government has been fixed for September 29, following a decision by a parliamentary commission Tuesday.
The election trail has already begun to heat up in Austria a day after Chancellor Sebastian Kurz was removed by a no-confidence vote, the first such one for a post-war leader.
