The 2010 South Carolina gubernatorial election took place on November 2, 2010. Incumbent Republican Governor Mark Sanford was term limited and unable to seek re-election. Primary elections took place on June 8, 2010 and a runoff election, as was necessary on the Republican side, was held two weeks later on June 22.
The Republican candidate Nikki Haley defeated the Democratic candidate Vincent Sheheen, in the general election. As of 2016, this is the closest that the Democrats have come to winning the governorship of South Carolina since their last victory in 1998.
