		</div><p>The right-wing candidate in Austria&#8217;s presidential election has conceded defeat to his left-leaning rival.</p>
<p>Norbert Hofer acknowledged defeat to Alexander Van der Bellen in a Facebook post in which he also thanked his backers for their support.</p>
<p>Mr Hofer said he is &#8220;naturally sad&#8221;, adding: &#8220;I would have been happy to have cared for our wonderful country as federal president.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said the work of his supporters during the election is &#8220;not lost but an investment in the future&#8221;.</p>
<p>Direct votes without the count of about 700,000 absentee ballots being counted today had given Mr Hofer 51.9% while Mr Van der Bellen, a Greens politician running as an independent, got 48.1%.</p>
<p>But projections yesterday that included the absentee votes had already put Mr Van der Bellen slightly ahead.</p>
