Biography

Karlheinz Kopf (born 27 June 1957 in Hohenems, Voralberg) is an Austrian politician of the conservative People's Party (ÖVP).
Since 29 October 2013, he has been the Second President of the National Council. On 8 July 2016, when Austrian President Heinz Fischer left office, the position of Acting President fell jointly to the three presidents of the National Council – Kopf, Norbert Hofer (Freedom Party), and Doris Bures (Social Democratic Party). Alexander Van der Bellen was elected President on 4 December 2016, receiving support from 53.3% of voters and defeating Hofer. Hofer, Kopf, and Bures remain as joint acting President until Van der Bellen is sworn into office, which is due to occur on 26 January 2017.
