Obama has passed the threshold of required 2,777 delegates halfway through the roll call vote of delegates from 50 states, the District of Columbia and US territories, during the second day of its national convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Obama will formally accept the party's nomination on Thursday night and deliver his prime time speech.

The focus of his acceptance speech will be a "forward-going" plan, said the Obama campaign.
