After the heavy losses in the state elections in 2008, Lindenberger announced on June 27, 2008 that he would no longer be available for a government function in the coming legislative period and that he would also renounce his state parliament mandate. Lindenberger cited the SPÖ's principle of distribution as a reason, which emphasizes the representation of all districts. In the talks during the government negotiations it became clear that “in the party, the service of the individual districts is given higher priority than the government work with very difficult problems being filled by an expert.” Lindenberger's departure from the state government had already become apparent after the transport department had fallen to the ÖVP during the government negotiations.
