Alexander Van der Bellen elected Austrian President
Independent candidate and pro-European Alexander Van der Bellen has won Austria's re-run presidential election with around 53.5% votes. Bellen won against anti-immigration and eurosceptic Norbert Hofer who conceded defeat saying he was "endlessly sad". Bellen had won an earlier election in May by a narrow margin after which it was declared void by the Constitutional Court due to irregularities.
