Austria's government reshuffle is bringing significant changes to the Nationalrat, with 12 new members set to join.

The ÖVP will see the most movement, with six new mandates, including notable returns like Rudolf Taschner and Kira Grünberg.

Irene Neumann-Hartberger has opted for a federal mandate, while Franz Hörl is expected to rejoin soon.

The SPÖ will fill four seats, with Elisabeth Feichtinger and Muna Duzdar among the likely newcomers.

The Neos will replace two members, with Ines Holzegger and Janos Juvan stepping in.

These shifts reflect the broader impact of the new coalition government on Austria's political landscape.
