Brazilian presidential runoff (October 25, 2026): Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) defeats Flávio Bolsonaro and is confirmed as president (confirmed by TSE by October 26, 2026)

Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 5. September 2026 · Predicted for 25. October 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle

Probability

56%

Polymarket prices Lula at 56% and Flávio Bolsonaro at 40% for the runoff (as of September 5, 2026). This prediction builds on the existing open prediction that no candidate achieves an absolute first-round majority (October 4). Lula benefits from incumbency, social spending (Bolsa Família expansion), and a broader coalition (PT + centrists). Bolsonaro Jr. mobilises the loyal right but carries his father's legal baggage and the polarisation costs of the Bolsonarismo brand.

Data basis for this prediction

Polymarket: Lula wins Brazil 2026 Presidential Election = 56 % (5.9.2026)
Polymarket: Flávio Bolsonaro wins = 40 % (5.9.2026)
TSE Brasilien Wahlkalender: 1. Wahlgang 4.10.2026, Stichwahl 25.10.2026

Verdict: Hit

Die Vorhersage ist eingetreten. Lula (PT) gewann die Stichwahl am 25. Oktober 2026 mit 51,79 % gegenüber Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) mit 48,21 % der gültigen Stimmen (64,26 Mio. vs. 59,83 Mio. Stimmen). Das TSE (Tribunal Superior Eleitoral) proklamierte das Ergebnis offiziell. Bemerkenswert: Flávio Bolsonaro hatte den ersten Wahlgang am 5. Oktober gewonnen (47,03 % vs. 45,16 %), sodass Lula im Stichwahl-Endspurt die Aufholjagd schaffte – historisch das erste Mal in Brasilien, dass ein nach Runde 1 zweitplatzierter Kandidat die Stichwahl gewann. Flávio Bolsonaro verweigerte die Konzession, erkannte das Ergebnis nicht an, während seine eigene Partei PL das Resultat akzeptierte.

Donald Trump publicly questions the legitimacy of the 2026 midterm results and signals legal challenges by November 15, 2026

Democrats won both chambers historically at the November 3, 2026 midterms (Senate 54:44, House 258 seats — largest majority since 1993). Trump's disapproval rating stands at 62% (FiveThirtyEight, Nov 2026). Based on documented behavioral pattern: after the 2020 presidential election, Trump posted voter fraud claims within 48 hours; after the 2022 midterms, challenges followed within a week. Metaculus community places >70% probability on public contesting after major GOP losses. A public statement via Truth Social, press release, or confirmed media interview by November 15, 2026 counts as verification (Reuters or AP).

Alberto Núñez Feijóo (PP) secures parliamentary majority with Vox coalition and becomes Spanish Prime Minister — General Election 29 November 2026 (confirmed by Junta Electoral Central or AP by 1 December 2026)

Spain holds a general election on 29 November 2026. Polymarket prices Feijóo as next PM at 85%, Kalshi at 82% — both serve as anchors. A separate Polymarket market gives PP+Vox a 92% probability of a joint majority (>176/350 seats). Current polls (Sondaxe) show PP at 29.2% narrowly ahead of PSOE (26.9%); Vox is tracking slightly higher. Feijóo failed to form a government in 2023, but market odds reflect the lesson learned: PP+Vox is now seen as stable enough. No deviation from market anchor warranted.
