Austrian far-right head rules out election challenge

The head of Austria's far-right Freedom Party (FPOe) today ruled out launching a legal challenge against the defeat of the party's candidate Norbert Hofer in the presidential election.
"This time clearly there are no complaints... Today we can be sure that citizens' votes were properly handled," Heinz-Christian Strache said on public television.
In May, the FPOe successfully challenged Hofer's defeat and secured a re-run.
