US: US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was announced the winner of the party's global primary on Thursday, another big boost to his campaign to win the party's presidential nomination.

The International Chair for Democrats Abroad, Christine Marques, told reporters that the Illinois senator beat New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton by 65 percent to 32 percent.

A total of 22 delegates would be yielded from the global primary to the national nomination convention, with half a vote each, carrying 11 votes. Among the eight superdelegates, two have pledged to support Clinton, and another two have said they favor Obama and the rest are undecided.
