Brief Summary
In Kentucky, incumbent Republican Governor Abdullah Sade managed to cling on to his seat and defeat Democratic Chiropractor Zameer Faheem by a comfortable margin. This was the first election in Kentucky that both major candidates were of Arab descent.

Republican Primary
Incumbent Governor Abdullah Sade won the primary unopposed.

Democratic Primary
Chiropractor Zameer Faheem won the primary unopposed.

General Election
In the general election, Sade was known as both a fiscally and socially conservative governor who resonated well with the conservative wing of the GOP. The moderate wing of the GOP attempted to nominate someone to the left of him, but this failed. Sade ran a conservative campaign emphasizing the reduction of taxes, as well as his work as governor, which was generally popular amongst Kentucky's populace. Democratic Chiropractor Zameer Faheem, whom before had not had any prior political experience, was the only candidate interested in running for the Democratic nomination. He was both fiscally and socially progressive. The moderate wing of the Democratic Primary attempted to nominate someone to the right of him, but this failed, as there was a lack of interest in running for the seat from Democrats, due to the state's heavy Republican partisan lean. Faheem ran a progressive campaign emphasizing increasing teacher's salaries, as well as increasing the gas tax to help improve infrastructure. Sade, throughout the entire campaign, led in polling. Thus, political analysts expected him to easily cling on to his seat. Sure enough, this is what he managed to do.
