The governor from January 3,1979 to January 9, 1979 was acting governor Joe Purcell (governor David Pryor had been elected US Senator from the state).

The elected governor from January 9, 1979 to January 19, 1981 was Bill Clinton who lost to Frank White in 1980 before serving another 3 terms as governor from January 11, 1983 to December 12, 1992 (when he resigned prior to taking office as the 42nd US President on January 20, 1993).

*Clinton served 2 two-year terms and almost all of 2 four-year terms. The term was changed back to four years by Amendment 63 in 1984.
