Campaigns for the 2027 governorship elections have officially begun, with political parties and candidates stepping up their activities and presenting promises focused on security, jobs, agriculture and social development.
Candidates Roll Out Campaign Promises

The formal campaign period started on Wednesday, September 9, bringing candidates across different states into an increasingly active political contest.
Governorship hopefuls are highlighting issues such as education, healthcare, infrastructure, workers’ welfare and economic development as they seek to win voters ahead of the 2027 polls.
Political parties and their candidates have also been urged to keep their campaigns peaceful and centred on issues rather than violence or personal attacks.
With the campaigns now underway, security, economic hardship, job creation and social services are expected to remain major issues as candidates take their messages to voters.
