Former Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has vowed to win back his job after he was ousted in a no-confidence vote this week, Euronews reports.

Seen as a prodigy — he was the youngest Chancellor ever in the country — he left the Parliamentary session during which he and his government were turfed and walked straight outside to speak to his supporters, a huge crowd that was waiting in the rain for the outcome of the vote.

“We are all engaged. In the People’s Party as we have one clear aim to and this is to serve our country,” he said, while urging Austrians to support the caretaker government that will run the country until elections in September.

“We will ask for the support of the people. Today the Parliament has decided, but at the end of the day in September the people will decide in a democracy, and I am looking forward to this.”

The no-confidence vote followed a scandal that engulfed Kurz’s coalition partner, former deputy Hans-Christian Strache.

Strache was the leader of the far-right Freedom Party until a video emerged that appeared to show him offering government contracts in return for financial support. He resigned, but rejected culpability in the situation. The video tore apart the governing coalition as people directed their anger both at the Freedom Party, and Kurz’s People’s Party for teaming up with the far-right in the first place.
