Gubernatorial elections are currently scheduled to be held in Okinawa on September 13, 2026. This market will resolve according to the listed candidate who wins the 2026 Okinawa gubernatorial elections. Any interim or caretaker Governor will not qualify. If the results are not known definitively by March 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". If no candidate reaches the legally required number of votes to win the election, 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 as reported by government sources of Okinawa and Japan, including the Okinawa Prefecture Election Administration Committee (https://www.pref.okinawa.jp/kensei/senkyo/index.html).Genta Koja holds an 89.1% implied probability in the Okinawa gubernatorial election market due to consolidated backing from the Liberal Democratic Party, Japan Innovation Party, Democratic Party for the People, and other conservative groups, plus explicit support from Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. His acceptance of the Henoko relocation of U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma aligned with central government priorities, while voter surveys highlighted economy, employment, and prices as top concerns over base issues. Incumbent Denny Tamaki, seeking a third term with opposition party and All Okinawa coalition support focused on blocking the relocation, sits at 0.1%. The remaining candidates trail as longshots after a late-August campaign launch that featured limited polling movement until exit-poll indications on voting day.
