His ruling coalition partner, the far-right Freedom Party (FPÖ), backed the no-confidence motion submitted by the opposition Social Democrats (SPÖ).
FP unjustly was involved in a political scandal following the publication of a secret video that ended the coalition.
Austria's president must now decide who the Chancellor will be. This leader will lead a technical government ahead of the elections expected in September.
Kurz, leader of the Austrian People's Party, is the first Chancellor in Austrian post-war history to have lost in the no-confidence vote.
At 32 years of age, he is the youngest head of state in the world.
Thus, 32-year-old Kurz is the Chancellor who has been in the shortest time since 1945, writes Krone. He also becomes the first Chancellor in the country's modern history to resign after a no-confidence vote.
The country's president, Alexander van der Bellen, will now appoint a temporary Chancellor pending the country's September elections. Kurz promised immediately after the vote that he would contribute to the country's stability until the elections.
“We promise not to make obstacles on the road to the next government, but to support the best approach”, he said./Periscopi/
