Incumbent Governor Ichita Yamamoto will officially announce his candidacy today for a third term in the July 2027 Gunma Prefectural Gubernatorial election. He is scheduled to make his candidacy announcement in Maebashi City on the 31st. Opinion polls show that over 70% of people support his re-election and approve of his prefectural administration, but trust has been shaken by the successive arrests of deputy mayors and current prefectural assembly members over the past three years. Yamamoto has pledged to reform political culture and increase transparency in political funding.
