Buttigieg takes lead in first Iowa results after presidential caucus chaos - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

US Senator Bernie Sanders was in second place and US Senator Elizabeth Warren in third in the first results, released nearly 21 hours after Iowans poured into more than 1,600 public locations to begin the five-month process of picking a challenger to Republican President Donald Trump.

Sanders was ahead in the popular vote, which is not used to determine the delegates who will cast ballots at the Democratic National Convention in July. Officials blamed inconsistencies related to a new mobile app used for vote counting for the unusual delay in Iowa, the state that traditionally kicks off a US presidential election campaign that culminates this year on November 3.

“As leader of the party I apologize deeply for this,” Iowa State Party Chairman Troy Price told reporters. “We’ve been working day and night to make sure these results are accurate.”

It's a chaotic Democrats Caucus in Iowa, the mission to sideline Bernie Sanders is failing dismally, and Trump will do a walk over being uncontested in his Republican Party.
