2023 Kebbi State gubernatorial election

The 2023 Kebbi State gubernatorial election was held on 18 March 2023, to elect the Governor of Kebbi State, concurrent with elections to the Kebbi State House of Assembly as well as twenty-seven other gubernatorial elections and elections to all other state houses of assembly. The election — which was postponed from its original 11 March date — was held three weeks after the presidential election and National Assembly elections. Incumbent APC Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu was term-limited and could not seek re-election to a third term. Nasir Idris, a teachers' union leader, held the office for the APC by a margin of 6% over the PDP nominee — former Army major general Aminu Bande.

Party primaries were scheduled for between 4 April and 9 June 2022 with the Peoples Democratic Party nominating Bande on 25 May while the All Progressives Congress nominated Idris on 26 May.

On 20 March, INEC declared the election inconclusive as the margin between Idris and Bande was exceeded by the number of collected PVCs in polling units where the election was cancelled. The commission set the date for the supplementary election for 15 April, along with other supplementary elections nationwide. After the supplementary election, INEC declared Idris as the victor on 17 April with results showing him winning about 409,000 votes (~52% of the vote) to defeat Bande's nearly 361,000 votes (46% of the vote). Bande immediately rejected the results, alleging irregularities and decrying the arrest of scores of PDP members before vowing to go to court. In the ensuing legal battles, judgments from the election petitions tribunal in October, Court of Appeals in November, and Supreme Court in January 2024 upheld Idris' victory.
