Sarah Palin has lost a special congressional election in Alaska, in a district that was Republican-held for nearly five decades. The winner, Democrat Mary Peltola, will be the first Alaskan Native to serve as a lawmaker in Congress for the state. (...)

Former Alaska governor Ms Palin, 58, rose to prominence as a vice-presidential candidate in 2008. Ms Peltola, 49, was declared the winner on Wednesday by three percentage points in a state that ex-President Donald Trump took by 10 points in 2020. The former state lawmaker advocated for abortion access, climate action and the state's salmon populations.

Ms Palin, who was endorsed by Mr Trump, outspent her Democratic rival by four to one in the run-up to the 16 August election, according to Politico.
