Gubernatorial elections are currently scheduled to be held in Lagos 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 Lagos 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.Obafemi Hamzat leads the Lagos 2027 gubernatorial market at 86.5% as the APC consensus candidate after securing the party nomination in a May 2026 primary with over 657,000 votes against minimal opposition, following withdrawals by other aspirants. Successive endorsements from outgoing Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Lagos APC Governance Advisory Council, and President Bola Tinubu in late August 2026 have consolidated ruling-party support ahead of the February 6, 2027 election. The APC’s long-standing dominance in Lagos local government structures and voter mobilization underpins trader pricing for continuity. Lower-priced opposition figures such as Rhodes-Vivour Gbadebo Patrick, Sowore Robert, and others face significant structural barriers in a state where the incumbent party has maintained control since 1999, though scheduled primaries and campaign developments could still influence final positioning.
