The governor's race in Georgia will pit Republican Brian Kemp against Democrat star Stacy Abrams.
Donald Trump's grip on the Republican party suffered a slip after his handpicked candidate for Georgia governor was trounced at the polls.
The result sets up a general election rematch between Mr Kemp and Democratic candidate Stacy Abrams, who had accused the Republican of suppressing votes in her previous tilt at the governor's seat in 2018. Democrats wrested the state's two Senate seats from Republicans in 2021 - including one from Mr Perdue - to gain a slim majority in the upper chamber of the US Congress.
