Incumbent governor Sonny Perdue (R) was ineligible to seek re-election due to term limits. The Republican primary featured four candidates who received over 15% of the vote in the first round: former Secretary of State Karen Handel, former U.S. representative Nathan Deal, former Georgia state senator Eric Johnson, and Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine.[2] Handel, Deal, and Johnson all resigned their offices during or shortly before the campaign. Because no candidate received a majority of the vote, the race went to a runoff between the top two candidates, Handel and Deal.

| Republican | Karen Handel | 231,990 | 34.1 | |
