Why did Schallenberg resign as Chancellor?

  • Election defeat

  • Health reasons

  • Personal reasons

  • Kurz's resignation

Answer

The resignation of Sebastian Kurz as Chancellor of Austria triggered a chain of events that led to Alexander Schallenberg's decision to step down. As Kurz's close ally and former Foreign Minister, Schallenberg had taken over the chancellorship to ensure continuity in the government. However, the ongoing investigation into corruption allegations against Kurz eroded public trust and made it increasingly difficult for Schallenberg to lead effectively.
