Official results show Clinton won Iowa

Hillary Clinton has won a razor-thin victory over Bernie Sanders in the Iowa caucuses that kicked off the 2016 US presidential race, Democratic party results show.

With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Clinton took 49.8 percent, against 49.6% for the Vermont senator, her sole remaining challenger for the Democratic nomination.

Clinton’s campaign had claimed victory over Sanders ahead of the official announcement of results from Monday’s caucuses.

State Democratic party chair Andy McGuire calls the results “the closest in Iowa Democratic caucus history.”
