The 2020 West Sumatra gubernatorial election was held on 9 December 2020 in West Sumatra, Indonesia, as part of the simultaneous local elections. This election was held by the West Sumatra Regional General Elections Commission (KPU), to elect the Governor of West Sumatra along with his deputy to a 2021–2024 mandate.

The incumbent Governor Irwan Prayitno was ineligible to run for a third term as he has already served two terms after winning the election in 2010 and being re-elected in 2015. The elected governor and deputy governor were inaugurated on 25 February 2021 by President Joko Widodo.[3]

Controversy

On 2 September 2020, while submitting a letter of recommendation to the candidate pair of Mulyadi–Ali Mukhni from her party, in support of them, the Chairwoman of the Central Board of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), Puan Maharani, made a remark that offended West Sumatra public at large, as she hopes that West Sumatra "could become a province that does support a Pancasila state".[4] Another controversial statement was also made by the General Chairwoman of the PDIP, Megawati Sukarnoputri, who questioned West Sumatrans in general who disliked her party. Because of such controversial statements that deemed offending many West Sumatrans, Mulyadi–Ali Mukhni eventually returned the letter of recommendation from the party,[5] leaving the PDIP not participating in this election.[6]

On 5 December 2020, Mulyadi was named suspect by the Criminal Investigation Agency for allegedly violating campaigning rules.[7] However, the case was stopped on 13 December 2020, and he was acquitted from all charges since.[8]
