Incumbent Republican Governor of Mississippi Haley Barbour was unable to run for a third term due to term limits. Republican nominee Lieutenant Governor Phil Bryant defeated the Democratic nominee, Hattiesburg Mayor Johnny DuPree. Sworn in on January 10, 2012, Bryant became only the third Republican governor of Mississippi since Reconstruction. This was the first election in which Republicans won three consecutive gubernatorial elections in the state. This was also the first time that Issaquena County voted Republican for governor since 1873 and Benton County did so for the first time ever.
