The 2007 Louisiana gubernatorial election was held on October 20. Democratic incumbent Kathleen Blanco did not run for re-election to a second term in office. Bobby Jindal won the election in the open jungle primary, capturing a majority of the vote and obviating the need for a run-off election.
This was the first time since 1968 in which the winner of a Louisiana gubernatorial election was of the same party as the incumbent president.
