Republicans and Democrats vying for their party’s ticket for November’s US presidential election have been arriving in New Hampshire ahead of the next vote.
Monday’s caucuses in Iowa were won by Senator Ted Cruz for the Republicans and Hillary Clinton for the Democrats. Mr Cruz prevailed despite trailing in opinion polls while Mrs Clinton beat Senator Bernie Sanders by just 0.2%.
The state’s more moderate and less religious electorate may prove a tougher nut for Mr Cruz to crack in the primaries it is due to hold on 9 February.
On the Democrat side, Mr Sanders is seen as having a home advantage in New Hampshire over Mrs Clinton.
The state-by-state voting will culminate in conventions in July, at which the two parties will confirm their choice of candidate to succeed Barack Obama, the Democratic president who is standing down after two terms in office.
