Karl Nehammer was sworn in as Austrian chancellor by President Alexander Van der Bellen on Monday in a ceremony in Vienna's Hofburg Palace as the country's third leader in three months, APA reports citing DW.
He now faces the task of trying to free the coalition government from the taint of months of political turmoil and scandal and of creating conditions conducive to lifting the country's coronavirus lockdown.
Nehammer, 49, from the ruling conservative Austrian People's Party (ÖVP), was formerly the country's interior minister.
