The Connecticut Independent Party in 2022 only polled .98% for Governor, so it is no longer ballot-qualified for Governor. In Connecticut, a party is only ballot-qualified for offices for which it polled at least 1% in the last election. According to this story, the Republican nominee for Governor, Ryan Fazio, is circulating a petition for himself as the Independent Party nominee. However, even if that petition gets enough valid signatures, Fazio won’t be on the ballot as the Independent Party unless the party decides to nominate him.

In 2022, the Independent Party polled over 1% for Secretary of State, Treasurer, and Controller, but not Governor. It ran Robert Hotaling for Governor in 2022. He was not the nominee of any other party. Connecticut allows fusion.
