Both the Social Democrats and the Austrian People's Party both showed their weakest takes since the return of democracy in 1945.
They will now, more than ever, need the grand coalition they have with each other.
Combined they now have ninety-nine of the one hundred and eighty-three seats, a slight majority.
All four of the other parties gained seats, showing unexpected strength.
The biggest surprise was NEOS, which in their first election took nine seats.
Analysts believe that the results show a dissatisfaction with the grand coalition's governing, not just growing like for the other parties.
