The 2007 South Sulawesi gubernatorial election, which was held on 5 November 2007, saw the incumbent governor Amin Syam and vice governor Syahrul Yasin Limpo running on a separate ticket for the governor office. Limpo won the elections, but Syam disputed the results of the elections. As Syam's term came closer to end, speculations arise as to who would become the acting governor.
