What major event occurred right before Van der Bellen was to be sworn in?

  • Election annulment

  • A scandal

  • A protest

  • A national crisis

Answer

Election annulment occurred right before Van der Bellen was to be sworn in. The Austrian Constitutional Court ruled that the presidential election held on May 22, 2016, was invalid due to irregularities in the postal voting process. The court ordered a rerun of the election, which was held on December 4, 2016, and resulted in Van der Bellen's victory.
