Germany's constitutional court on Thursday dismissed a complaint by the leftist Sarah Wagenknecht Alliance seeking to legally challenge the results of the national election due to alleged counting errors.

The populist BSW, which was created last year, scored 4.97% in last month's election, lacking just 13,400 votes to enter parliament in a country where around 60 million people are eligible to cast a ballot.

The court said complaints by the party, its members and eligible voters were inadmissible.
