President Barack Obama has won re-election to a second term in the White House. Obama became only the second Democrat to win a second four-year White House term since World War II.

America’s first black leader beat Mitt Romney in the closely fought battle to secure another four years as the most powerful man in the world.

Following projections by the Associated Press and all the major networks that he had won, Obama tweeted on his official Twitter account: “We’re all in this together. That’s how we campaigned, and that’s who we are. Thank you.”
