Former Republican governor Sarah Palin, and former US vice presidential candidate with John McCain, lost the special elections to Democratic Mary Peltola to occupy the seat in the Alaska House for the rest of 2022. CNN reports.
The race for the seat of Republican Congressman Don Young, who died, was considered by all political analysts to be Palin's attempt, supported by the former Donald Trump, to return to politics.
The former ultra-conservative governor of Alaska will still have a second chance in the midterm election in November, having won the Republican nomination.
