Indian American Nikki Haley has created history by winning the Republican nomination for the gubernatorial elections to be held in November, placing her within one step of being elected this fall as the state's first female governor in South Carolina.
Haley is the first Republican woman picked for the post bypassing all allegations of marital infidelity and an ethnic slur against her during her election campaign.
“South Carolina just showed the rest of the country what we’re made of,” the Fox News quoted Nikki Haley as saying after her victory.
“We want a conservative government, and we want a government that is accountable to the people,” she added.
Besides Haley, an African American Tim Scott secured a Republican nomination for Congressional District after he defeated Paul Thurmond.
In the unofficial results for Georgetown County, Scott easily defeated Thurmond, 2,330 to 1,813.
