Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT, Brazil) wins the 2026 presidential election runoff (25 October 2026) and is re-elected for a second consecutive term (confirmed by TSE by 26 October 2026)

Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 2. September 2026 · Predicted for 25. October 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle

Probability

54%

Brazil holds its presidential election on 4 October 2026 (round 1) and 25 October 2026 (runoff) per the official TSE calendar. Lula (PT) runs as incumbent (3rd term since January 2023). Bolsonaro is barred from office until 2030 by TSE ruling; the right wing will likely field a proxy candidate. Regional polls and aggregators give Lula ~50–58% win probability. Risks: approval ratings at ~40–44%, economic slowdown, fiscal deficit criticism.

Data basis for this prediction

TSE.jus.br: 'Eleições 2026 – datas oficiais: 1º turno 4 outubro, 2º turno 25 outubro 2026'
Wikipedia: 'Eleição presidencial no Brasil em 2026' – Lula als Amtsinhaber bestätigt, Bolsonaro ineligibel
Coface Political Risks 2026: Brazil elections competitive, right-wing proxy candidate erwartet

Verdict: Hit

Lula (PT) gewann die Stichwahl am 25. Oktober 2026 mit 51,79 % der gültigen Stimmen (64.256.232 Stimmen) gegen Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) mit 48,21 % (59.826.041 Stimmen). Der TSE-Präsident verkündete offiziell Lulas Wiederwahl noch am selben Tag (Quelle: tse.jus.br). Alle Kernelemente der Vorhersage trafen zu: Lula gewann die Stichwahl am 25.10.2026, die TSE-Bestätigung erfolgte fristgerecht, und Jair Bolsonaros Sohn Flávio trat als Ersatzkandidat des rechten Lagers an – genau wie vorhergesagt. Lula lag im ersten Turm sogar knapp hinter Flávio Bolsonaro (ca. 2,2 Mio. Stimmen Rückstand), holte den Rückstand im zweiten Turm aber auf – ein historisch erstmaliger Umschwung in Brasilien. Die Voraussage der 54 % Siegchance erwies sich als korrekt.

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.
