Update — May 13, 4 p.m. ET: Clay Aiken has won the North Carolina Democratic primary the day after his opponent, Keith Crisco, died suddenly in a fall.

Aiken won more than 40% of the vote necessary in order to win the three-candidate race, according to the county-by-county tally posted by the state today.

The state elections board will review the results before they become official, with the meeting tentatively scheduled for May 22, the AP reported.

It is unclear whether Aiken will accept the nomination, having said yesterday he was suspending his campaign following Crisco's death.

A representative for Clay Aiken declined to comment to BuzzFeed, saying they are not issuing statements because the campaign is still suspended.
