The Ku Klux Klan has announced a "victory" parade in North Carolina following Donald Trump's election as president.

The parade was announced by the Loyal White Knights, a KKK chapter based in the rural village of Pelham, and will take place in early December.

"Trump's race united my people," the announcement reads.

The same chapter held a protest in South Carolina last year after a Confederate Flag was removed from the state house grounds, according to the News & Observer, a local newspaper.

The planned rally would not be the first time the KKK and its supporters have aligned themselves with the president-elect.

The KKK's official newspaper endorsed Mr Trump during the election, and several prominent white supremacists have publicly praised him.

David Duke, a former Imperial Wizard of the hate group, called Mr Trump's election "one of the most exciting nights of my life" and celebrated the fact that "our people" helped him defeat Hillary Clinton.
