El Salvador opposition admits presidential vote defeat
The main opposition party in El Salvador has said it accepts defeat in the presidential election held on 9 March, after losing several appeals for a recount.
The Arena party says it will make "democratic, serious and honest" opposition to the new president, former rebel leader Salvador Sanchez Ceren.
Arena candidate Norman Quijano lost the vote by 0.22 percentage points.
El Salvador remains deeply divided 22 years after the end of its civil war.
