and/or '''redirect'''. Winning a primary is not in and of itself grounds for a Wikipedia article, because that still only makes him a ''candidate'' and not yet an ''officeholder'' — but our notability rules for politicians require a person to ''hold'' office, not just run for it, to be considered a notable politician. The campaign coverage that a person receives, further, does not assist in getting them over , because ''every'' candidate ''always'' gets some campaign coverage — so if the existence of some campaign coverage were all it took to distinguish a notable candidate from a non-notable candidate, then ''every'' candidate would ''always'' pass the test. Per , Wikipedia does not deal in the realm of election predictions, either — if he hasn't already held a political office that passes , then his chances of winning one in the future are not a notability claim in and of themselves. "Favoured to win" candidates do sometimes still lose, and underdogs do sometimes win, so we do ''not'' create articles about candidates just because they happen to be leading the public opinion polling at some random point during the campaign. And no, being CEO of "one of the largest companies in the region" is not an automatic notability freebie either — even for company CEOs, the notability test is still the depth and breadth and volume of |reliable sourcing that can be shown to get them over  ''for'' being CEOs, and the word "CEO" is not in and of itself a magic bullet that exempts them from having to have the correct depth and breath and volume of reliable sourcing. No prejudice against recreation in November if he wins the seat, but neither the content nor the sourcing here are enough to already get him an article today
