Saxony-Anhalt state election (September 6, 2026): FDP fails the 5% threshold and does not enter the state parliament (confirmed by State Returning Officer of Saxony-Anhalt)

Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 23. August 2026 · Predicted for 6. September 2026 · Based on: Statistical Pattern
Probability
91%

Current polls (INSA/PolitPro, as of approx. August 23, 2026) put the FDP in Saxony-Anhalt at 2.9%. Reaching the 5% threshold would require nearly doubling their vote share. The election is dominated by AfD (42.1%); CDU (23%), Die Linke (13%), and SPD (6.5%) compete for remaining seats. Mobilisation reserves for a small liberal party in this environment are minimal. No published poll has placed the FDP above 4%. No relevant Polymarket market available.

Data basis for this prediction
  • PolitPro Election Trend Sachsen-Anhalt: FDP 2,9% — AfD 42,1%, CDU 23%, Die Linke 13,1%, SPD 6,5% (23. Aug 2026)

Verdict: Hit
Die FDP erzielte bei der Sachsen-Anhalt Landtagswahl am 6. September 2026 laut amtlichem Ergebnis des Landeswahlleiters 2,6% der Zweitstimmen und scheiterte damit klar an der 5%-Sperrklausel. Sie zieht nicht in den Landtag ein. Die Vorhersage trat vollständig ein.

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%.

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.

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.
