AGENCIES: Austria’s conservative People’s Party led by former Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has won a clear majority in Sunday’s general election.

With nearly all the votes counted, Kurz’s party has more than 38% of the vote, up from 31% last time round.

His former coalition partners, the far-right Freedom Party, have received 17.3%, a sharp fall.

The snap general election was called after a scandal caused the previous coalition government to collapse.

Polling stations opened at 07:00 (05:00 GMT) on Sunday and closed at 17:00. Some 6.4 million people were eligible to vote in the election.
