An 18-year-old student has become the first black mayor in the US after promising to improve drainage, put more cops on the streets - and bring a much-needed supermarket back to the area.
Jaylen Smith, from Arkansas, US, ran as a Democrat in his local town of Earle, which has 1,800 residents, defeated superintendent Nemi Matthews by 235 votes to 185 on Tuesday.
He ran on a platform of improving the city's drainage, creating new jobs, putting more cops on the street and improving public transport as well as bringing a local supermarket to the area - after the only one shut two years ago.
