Austria's centre-left Social Democrats and the conservative People's Party have agreed to form a coalition government, two months after elections.

Social Democratic leader Werner Faymann, whose party won most votes, is expected to become the next chancellor.

The two parties had been partners in the previous government, but fell out after 18 months in power.

The deal means neither of Austria's two far-right parties, who made big gains in the poll, will be in government.
