(CNN) – Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee will win the Louisiana Republican primary, according to CNN projections.

With 98 percent of the vote counted, Huckebee garnered 44 percent to Arizona Sen. John McCain's 42 percent. CNN bases its projections on actual results and exit polls in areas where Huckabee is expected to do well.

But Huckabee won't get any convention delegates out of his win, according to CNN projections. Twenty delegates were at stake in Saturday's primary, but none will be allocated if no candidate gets 50 percent of the vote.

With both Huckabee and GOP frontrunner McCain falling short of the 50 percent mark, the 20 delegates will be allocated at next Saturday's Louisiana state GOP convention.
