Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) wins the 2026 Brazilian presidential election in the second round (October 25, 2026)

Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 28. September 2026 · Predicted for 25. October 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle
Probability
65%

Since neither Lula (PT) nor the PL candidate reaches an absolute majority in the first round on October 4, 2026 (open prediction: runoff confirmed), the runoff is held on the last Sunday of October. Lula is the first-round frontrunner per the open Cassandra prediction. Historically, since 1994 every Brazilian first-round leader has also won the runoff. PT-aligned smaller parties will predominantly transfer their votes to Lula. Aggregate market probabilities on forecasting platforms imply approximately 65% for a Lula second-round victory. The prediction is explicitly conditional on the actual first-round outcome.

Data basis for this prediction
  • Offene Cassandra-Vorhersage: Lula (PT) Erstplatzierter im 1. Wahlgang, 4. Oktober 2026
  • Offene Cassandra-Vorhersage: Stichwahl bestätigt (kein Kandidat mit absoluter Mehrheit im 1. Wahlgang)
  • Historische Daten: Brasilianische Stichwahlen 1994–2022 – immer Sieg des 1.-Wahlgang-Führenden (TSE Brasil)
  • Aggregierte Marktprognosen (Polymarket/Metaculus-Struktur): ~65 % Lula-Siegwahrscheinlichkeit Stichwahl
Verdict: Hit
Lula (PT) gewann die Stichwahl am 25. Oktober 2026 mit ca. 51,74–51,79 % der Stimmen gegen Flávio Bolsonaro (PL, ~48,2 %). Er sicherte sich damit eine historische vierte Amtszeit. Die Vorhersage trat vollständig ein: Stichwahl fand wie erwartet statt, und Lula siegte – konsistent mit der prognostizierten Dynamik (erstplatzierter Kandidat aus Runde 1 gewinnt die Stichwahl, PT-Koalitionsunterstützung).

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.
