Starting position
In the election of October 7, 2001 , the SPÖ was again able to unite the most votes and defend the absolute majority despite losses . The ÖVP made strong gains, as did the Greens. These were able to overtake the FPÖ, which had to accept massive losses, and reached third place. The Liberal Forum - near list Otto Schwarz and the KPÖ did not make it into the municipal council.
Shortly after the election, Hermann Nonner and the other FPÖ councilors resigned from the party and then founded the list for St. Pölten . They remained as free mandataries in the municipal council, so the FPÖ was no longer represented.
