Predicted for 3. October 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Latvia holds its 14th Saeima election (100 seats, 5% threshold, proportional system) on October 3, 2026. Apvienotais saraksts (AS) clearly leads current polls at 23.4% (as of September 2026, source: politpro.eu), far ahead of Progresīvie (12.3%) and Jaunā Vienotība (JV), which has collapsed to ~7% — a dramatic drop from 19% in 2022. AS has established itself as the dominant force in Latvian politics since its formation as an electoral alliance. No Polymarket market available; own estimate based on current polls: 62%. Risk: high voter volatility and fragmented coalition arithmetic in Latvia's multi-party Saeima.

All current polls (BTG Nexus/Nexus Pesquisas, Sept 28: Lula 42%, F. Bolsonaro 37%; Datafolha: Lula 41%) consistently place Lula above 40%. The AS/COA Poll Tracker shows Lula above 40% in every September survey. This prediction is consistent with existing open Cassandra forecasts ('runoff needed' and 'Bolsonaro >35%'): at Lula 42% + Bolsonaro 37%, neither a majority nor a contradiction arises. A second round on October 25 is near-certain.

Latest polls (Datafolha: Lula 40%, Flávio Bolsonaro 36%; AtlasIntel: Lula 45.8%, Bolsonaro 43.4%; Quaest: Lula 37%, Bolsonaro 33%; as of September 22–24, 2026) show no candidate above the 50% threshold. The open platform prediction expects Bolsonaro above 35%, implying a runoff. In Brazil's electoral history since 1989, 6 of 8 presidential elections required a second round (exceptions: FHC 1994 and 1998). Polymarket implies ~88% probability of a runoff (September 30, 2026). Runoff date: October 25, 2026.

Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) is the leading conservative challenger against 79-year-old incumbent Lula da Silva (PT). Recent polls show Flávio at 33–43%: Datafolha (Sept 22–24): 36%, Quaest/Genial (Sept 24–27): 34%, AtlasIntel/Bloomberg: 43.4%. The three-poll average is ~38%; even the most conservative polls show him at 34–36%. Prediction markets price Flávio as overall election winner: Polymarket ~58–59%, Kalshi ~61% — a clear market consensus on his mobilization advantage heading into the runoff. The >35% threshold sits near the lower end of the polling range, yielding solid probability. A runoff on October 25 is virtually certain as neither candidate polls above 50%.
