Austrian conservative Kurz winner in election - SORA projection

VIENNA, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Austrian conservative leader Sebastian Kurz's party has clearly won Sunday's snap parliamentary election and has several options for a coalition partner that will give it a stable majority, a projection based on a partial vote count showed.

Kurz's People's Party came first on 37.2%, well ahead of the Social Democrats on 22.0%, the far-right Freedom Party on 16.0%, the Greens on 14.3% and the liberal Neos on 7.4%, a projection by pollster SORA for broadcaster ORF showed soon after polls closed at 5 p.m. (1500 GMT).

The projection had a 1.8 percentage point margin of error. (Reporting by Francois Murphy; Editing by Michael Shields)
