Results (Primaries and Caucuses)

   
 

To become the Democratic or Republican presidential nominee, a candidate has to win a majority of delegates from his/her respective party. A Democratic candidate has to garner a simple majority of 2,118* votes from a total of 4,235*; while a Republican nominee has to win a simple majority of 1,191* votes out of 2,380*.

The candidates from each party who win majority votes will run for president in November.

Republican John McCain's sweep of major states and endorsements by former presidential hopefuls Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee have put him way ahead of rival Ron Paul. US medias project his current total delegates at 1,517 -- surpassing the 1,191 mark, which makes McCain the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

Over at the Democrats' camp, Barack Obama made history on by clinching the Democratic presidential nomination with 2,132 delegates, becoming the first black candidate to head a major party ticket, after a giant-slaying win over Hillary Clinton.

*Numbers are correct as of 4 June 2008, but are subjected to changes if delegates do not vote due to various reasons.
