Buttigieg wins Iowa caucuses

The Iowa Democratic Party has announced that former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg is in first place in the state's caucuses with all precincts counted.

Iowa Democrats said on Thursday that Buttigieg narrowly defeated Bernie Sanders.

But the US Democratic National Committee Chairman, Tom Perez, has called for the Iowa Democratic Party to "immediately begin a recanvass" in order to "assure public confidence in the results."

 

He made the call in a tweet after the state's caucuses ended in confusion and delayed results.
