After five days of a chaotic political stalemate, Republican Kevin McCarthy has been elected speaker of the US House of Representatives.

The United States House of Representatives has adjourned for a second day without a speaker, as Republican leader Kevin McCarthy continued to fall short of the majority he needs to preside over the chamber. In the sixth round of voting on Wednesday, far-right opposition to McCarthy persisted, setting up the prospect of a prolonged crisis in Congress as the House remains practically paralysed without a speaker.

Republicans take control of the United States House of Representatives on Tuesday. Still, their House leader, Kevin McCarthy, may fall short of securing a majority amid opposition from far-right members.
