politics

Manfred Kölly began his political career in the municipality of Deutschkreutz, where he moved into the municipal council in 1992 as a representative of the FPÖ . In 1997 Kölly was elected to the community board. In the local council elections in 2002, Kölly won 24% of the votes with the FPÖ. He himself was elected mayor of Deutschkreutz with 58% in the direct mayor elections that were held at the same time. Kölly was the only FPÖ mayor in Burgenland.

At that time, Kölly was also a member of the state parliament and club leader of the FPÖ. In the state elections in Burgenland in 2005 , the FPÖ lost two of its four mandates and Kölly left the state parliament as third party on the list. In the elections, Kölly received the highest number of preferential votes of the FPÖ candidates with 2,953 preferential votes.

In March 2007, Kölly founded the "Free Citizens List - Manfred Kölly", which all FPÖ municipal councils in Deutschkreutz and other officials joined. The former FPÖ party chairman Wolfgang Rauter founded the platform Freie Bürgerliste two days later, which Kölly also joined. In the municipal council elections in October 2007, Kölly achieved 38.7% with his Free Citizens' List and was the strongest member of the Deutschkreutz municipal council with ten seats. Kölly won the direct mayor elections with 60.7%.

In the National Council election in 2008 , Kölly stood for the Fritz Dinkhauser list , in the National Council election in 2017 he ran for the Free List Austria (FLÖ).

After Kölly was confirmed as mayor in 2007 and 2012, he ran again in 2017. On October 1, Kölly received a majority of 59.9 percent of the vote in the municipal council and mayoral elections. However, the local association of the ÖVP contested the result and voiced suspicion of election manipulation. The association objected to 223 ballot papers. On May 4, 2018, the state electoral authority in Eisenstadt decided to repeat the local elections, as there was a very high probability of manipulation. On September 9, 2018, the municipal council and the mayor were newly elected. The LBL lost one mandate, but remained the parliamentary group with the largest number of mandates.
