<entity_3> were held in <entity_9> on <entity_5> to elect the 23rd National Council, the lower house of <entity_9>'s bicameral parliament. The governing <entity_2> (<entity_2>) suffered substantial losses and was unexpectedly overtaken by the <entity_0> (<entity_0>). The <entity_1> (<entity_1>), competing in its first national <entity_8>, narrowly passed the 4% electoral threshold, despite opinion polling which indicated it would fall short. After the <entity_6>, the <entity_2> formed government with the FPÖ; in 2005, the <entity_1> (<entity_1>) split from the FPÖ. As a result of the 2006 <entity_8>, the <entity_2>–<entity_1> coalition lost its majority. After three months of negotiations, the <entity_0> and <entity_2> formed a grand coalition under <entity_0> leader <entity_4>, which took office on 11 January 2007. The <entity_2> contested the <entity_8> with <entity_7> Wolfgang Schüssel as its leader. It was the first federal <entity_8> in <entity_9> since 1970 the party entered as strongest party. The <entity_0> was led by <entity_4> in the <entity_8> campaign. On 3 September 2006 the <entity_0> and the Liberal Forum formed an electoral alliance with the goal to prevent a further <entity_2>-led government. The party contested the <entity_8> as "The Freedom-minded – Westenthaler's List – <entity_1>" (Die Freiheitlichen – Liste Westenthaler – <entity_1>). The party presented an <entity_8> programme with the title "10 points against a shift to the left in <entity_9>". On 25 September, six days before the <entity_8>, Minister of Justice Karin Gastinger, deputy leader of the <entity_1> and the party's leading candidate in Styria announced her leaving the party.
