Far-right FPO candidate Norbert Hofer is in the lead following the first round of Austria’s presidential election. <br /><br /> Hofer campaigned on an anti-immigration, anti-Europe platform.<br /><br /> First projections suggest he won more than 36 percent of the vote, public broadcaster ORF reports.<br /><br /> However, as none of the candidates appear to have reached the majority of more than 50 percent needed, he faces a run-off against Green Party veteran Alexander van der Brellen or Irmgard Griss, a former Supreme Court judge.<br /><br /> A second ballot is expected to be scheduled for May 22.
