Vienna, Austria (CNN) Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz and his government have lost a no-confidence vote following a corruption scandal prompted by a secretly-filmed video. Instead, a majority of deputies in the chamber stood to indicate their unwillingness to put further trust in Kurz. Kurz, who at 32 is one of the world's youngest leaders, is the first Austrian chancellor since World War II to be defeated by a motion of no-confidence. Sebastian Kurz attends a special session of Austrian parliament focusing on a no-confidence vote against him on Monday in Vienna. On Monday evening, Kurz asked his supporters to respect Parliament's decision before adding that he would support the interim government.
