Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) wins the 2026 Brazilian presidential election (first round Oct 4 / possible runoff Oct 25, 2026)

Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 21. July 2026 · Predicted for 25. October 2026 · Based on: Speculative
Probability
61%

Polymarket gives Lula a 61% win probability as of July 21, 2026 (market volume USD 114m). Recent polls (Bloomberg/BTG Pactual Nexus poll) show Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro tied at 46:46 in a simulated runoff — statistical dead heat within a 2% margin of error. Lula's Polymarket lead reflects a split opposition (Flávio 26.3%, other candidates ~12%) and incumbent advantage. Headwinds: Lula's age (80), ongoing Brazilian inflation concerns, and the Bolsonaro bloc's mobilisation potential. First round October 4; runoff if needed October 25.

Data basis for this prediction
  • Polymarket: Lula 61 %, Flávio Bolsonaro 26,3 % – Brasilien-Präsidentschaftswahl 2026 (Stand 21. Juli 2026, Vol. 114 Mio. USD)
  • Bloomberg: Lula hält Vorsprung über Bolsonaro – brasilianische Umfragen (1. Juli 2026)
  • Rio Times Online: Brasilien-Wahl 2026 Guide – Erstrunde 4. Oktober, Stichwahl 25. Oktober (2026)
  • AS/COA Poll Tracker: Lula/Flávio Bolsonaro 46:46 in simulierter Stichwahl (BTG Pactual/Nexus, Juli 2026)
Verdict: Hit
Lula (PT) gewann die Stichwahl am 25. Oktober 2026 mit 51,79 % gegen Flávio Bolsonaro (48,2 %). Die Vorhersage trat damit ein. Bemerkenswert: Im ersten Wahlgang am 4. Oktober lag Flávio Bolsonaro mit 47,04 % knapp vor Lula (45,15 %), was das Rennen in die Stichwahl zwang – genau wie von der Vorhersage als mögliches Szenario antizipiert. Lulas Sieg in der Stichwahl trotz Rückstand in Runde 1 war historisch, da seit 1989 kein Kandidat die Stichwahl gewonnen hatte, der den ersten Durchgang verloren hatte.

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).

Ukraine-Russia-US Trilateral Talks in Abu Dhabi (Nov 10–11, 2026) Conclude Without Ceasefire Agreement

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.
