The2022 Northern Mariana gubernatorial election took place on November 8, 2022, to elect thegovernor of the Northern Mariana Islands and thelieutenant governor of the Northern Mariana Islands to a four-year term in office. Because no candidate received 50% of the vote in the general election, the two highest-placing candidates advanced to arunoff election on November 25, 2022.[1]

IncumbentRepublican governorRalph Torres ran for re-election to a second full term in office with territorial senatorVinnie Sablan as his running mate.[2] Lieutenant GovernorArnold Palacios, a career Republican, also contested the seat, running as an independent withSaipan mayorDavid Apatang as his running mate.[3]Democratic nomineeTina Sablan, a member of theNorthern Mariana Islands House of Representatives, is the first woman to be nominated for Governor of the Northern Mariana Islands. She chose fellow territorial representativeLeila Staffler as her running mate.[4]

In the general election, Torres came in first with 38.83% of the vote, followed by Palacios at 33.15% and Sablan at 28.01%. Because no candidate received more than 50% of the vote, a runoff between Torres and Palacios was held on November 25, 2022.[5][6][7] Sablan and Staffler endorsed Palacios in the runoff, and Palacios and Apatang signed a "unity pledge" with them promising action on several policy issues, including health care, labor, and infrastructure.[8][9]

Palacios and Apatang won the runoff election with 54.14% of the vote to 45.86% for Torres and Sablan.[10] Palacios was the first independent elected governor of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the first independent to win a gubernatorial election in any U.S. state or territory since 2014.[a]

Background

[edit]

Torres has been under investigation for misusing public funds since 2019. On January 12, 2022, theNorthern Mariana Islands House of Representatives voted toimpeach Torres on charges of theft and corruption. A two-thirds majority vote in theNorthern Mariana Islands Senate was required to remove the governor from office.[11][12] The Senate acquitted Torres on May 18 in a 3–4party-line vote with two senators absent. However, Torres still faced criminal charges brought against him by Attorney GeneralEdward Manibusan.[13] His trial was set for July 5, 2022,[14] but was delayed several times and will not take place until after the November election.[15] Manibusan was reelected in the2022 election.[5]
