Benjamin Pierce Jacksonian John Bell Anti-Jacksonian The 1828 New Hampshire gubernatorial election was held on March 11, 1828.

[1] Incumbent Jackson Governor Benjamin Pierce was defeated by Adams nominee John Bell.

Party labels were in flux following the splitting of the Democratic-Republican Party into groups following the 1824 presidential election.

Contemporary newspapers refer to Pierce as a "friend of Andrew Jackson" and Bell as a "friend of John Quincy Adams" or "supporter of the Administration"[2][3][4] although others suggested Pierce had won the support of many Adams supporters.
