Gubernatorial elections are currently scheduled to be held in Kwara State, Nigeria, on February 6, 2027. If the election is officially rescheduled, this market will resolve based on the election held to choose the Governor for the term beginning in 2027. This market will resolve according to the listed candidate who wins the 2027 Kwara State gubernatorial election. Any interim, acting, or caretaker Governor will not qualify. If the results are not known definitively by October 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". To be elected Governor, a candidate must satisfy the requirements under Nigerian law, including receiving the highest number of votes cast and the constitutionally required geographic distribution of votes. If no candidate wins the election outright, this market will remain open to account for any further election or runoff, provided this occurs before the resolution deadline. If no candidate has been officially elected by the resolution deadline, this market will resolve to "Other". This market will resolve based on the results of this election, as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve solely based on official results published by Nigeria's Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and Nigerian government sources.Salihu Danladi leads trader pricing as the APC's confirmed 2027 governorship candidate after securing over 65 percent of votes in the May primary and receiving his INEC nomination form in June. The ruling party's organizational strength in Kwara under Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq underpins this positioning, despite earlier internal tensions over endorsements and defections by some aspirants to the PDP. Sulaiman Bolakale Kawu, the PDP nominee unveiled by INEC in late August alongside candidates from smaller parties, trails as the main opposition contender. Recent party-list finalization and limited reported shifts in the contest have kept probabilities stable, with traders viewing the APC ticket as the clearest path to victory ahead of the 2027 poll.
