Pending ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 5. September 2026 · Predicted for 20. September 2026 · Based on: Statistical Pattern

Probability

57%

The AfD received only 9.2% at the 2023 Berlin state election. Since then the AfD has gained significantly nationally — at the 2025 federal election it stood at ~21% nationwide. East Berlin's peripheral districts are also traditionally AfD-affine. Current poll aggregators place the AfD in Berlin for 2026 at ~14–18%, meaning the probability of exceeding the >16% threshold is approximately 55–60%. The existing prediction for the Berlin election (Linke strongest party >19%, BSW <5%, FDP <5%) arithmetically leaves enough room for an AfD result of 16–20% that is compatible with the Linke primacy result. No Polymarket contract; calibrated from 2025 federal result and Berlin regional polls.

Data basis for this prediction

AfD Berlin Abgeordnetenhauswahl 2023: 9,2 % (Landeswahlleiter Berlin, 12.2.2023)
AfD Bundestagswahl 2025 national: ~21 % (Bundeswahlleiter, 23.2.2025)
Politico EU Umfrage-Aggregator Berlin LTW 2026: AfD ~14–18 % (Stand 3.9.2026)
Bestehende Vorhersagen: Linke >19 % (stärkste Partei), BSW <5 %, FDP <5 % (selbe Wahl)

Berlin state election (20 September 2026): SPD receives more than 18.0% of valid votes cast (confirmed by Berlin Returning Officer or tagesschau.de by 21 September 2026)

The SPD received exactly 18.4% in the 2023 Berlin state election and has since been in opposition. Current polls (August/September 2026) put the SPD at 19–22%, making a result above 18.0% likely. Headwinds: ongoing federal political controversy and competition from BSW (which, per existing prediction, is expected below 5%). The 18.0% threshold is just below the 2023 result and would only be missed in a dramatic collapse. No Polymarket market; Metaculus aggregate implies ~65% for SPD above 18%.

Swedish Riksdag election (September 13, 2026): Liberalerna (L) falls below 4.0% and fails to clear the parliamentary threshold (confirmed by Valmyndigheten by September 14, 2026)

Current polls show Liberalerna well below the 4% threshold: Indikator Opinion (fieldwork to September 4, 2026): 2.2%; PolitPro election trend (as of September 9, 2026): 2.7%. Neither institute identifies meaningful upward momentum. The party was part of the Tidö coalition but suffered from its image problems. Even with maximum systematic polling error of +1.5 points, Liberalerna would remain below 4.2%. Failing to enter the Riksdag would cost the governing coalition its parliamentary majority.

Berlin Abgeordnetenhaus election (September 20, 2026): FDP falls below 5.0% of valid votes and fails to enter the Abgeordnetenhaus (confirmed by Berlin returning officer or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026)

Both current Berlin polls place the FDP far below the 5% threshold: INSA (Sept 2–4, 2026): 3.0%; Infratest dimap (Aug 27–31, 2026): FDP below the statistical detectable threshold. The Berlin FDP has not reached the 5% mark in any poll since spring 2026. Clearing the hurdle would require a simultaneous systematic error of 2+ points from both institutes — historically near-unprecedented. This is the highest-confidence prediction of the entire Berlin election.
