Brazil 2026 presidential election (October 4, 2026): No candidate wins an absolute majority in the first round — election goes to a runoff on October 25, 2026

Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 30. August 2026 · Predicted for 4. October 2026 · Based on: Statistical Pattern

Probability

91%

Current polls (Quaest, August 2026) show Lula (PT) at 38% and Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) at 31% in the first round. Brazilian electoral law (TSE, Constitution Art. 77) requires 50%+1 of valid votes to win in the first round. In a multi-candidate field, an absolute majority is virtually impossible. An open Cassandra.news prediction already forecasts Lula winning the runoff on October 25, 2026 — this prediction covers the logically prior event. No contradiction with the open forecast.

Data basis for this prediction

Quaest-Umfrage August 2026: Erstrunde Lula 38%, F. Bolsonaro 31% (AS/COA Poll Tracker, 15. August 2026)
Al Jazeera: 'Lula holds slim lead over Flávio Bolsonaro ahead of Brazil election' (15. August 2026)
Brasilianische Verfassung Art. 77: Absolute Mehrheit (50%+1) im 1. Wahlgang erforderlich (TSE Brasil)
Historisches Muster: Alle Brasilien-Präsidentschaftswahlen seit 1989 außer 2018 gingen in die Stichwahl (TSE)

Verdict: Hit

Die Vorhersage ist eingetreten. Im ersten Wahlgang am 4. Oktober 2026 erreichte kein Kandidat die absolute Mehrheit: Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) erhielt 47,03% und Lula da Silva (PT) 45,16% der gültigen Stimmen. Da beide unter der erforderlichen 50%+1-Schwelle blieben, findet die Stichwahl planmäßig am 25. Oktober 2026 statt.

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.

Roger Wicker (Republican) retains the US Senate seat in Mississippi after recount — confirmed by AP or NBC News by 20 November 2026

With 97% of votes counted, Republican incumbent Roger Wicker leads by just 28 votes per NBC News live results (04.11.2026) — one of the closest Senate races in history. Mississippi election law requires an automatic recount when the margin falls below 0.5% of total votes, expected to conclude by 15–20 November. The remaining 3% of ballots originate primarily from rural precincts with historically higher Republican turnout, giving Wicker a slight statistical edge. No specific Polymarket market for Mississippi was identified.

Mary Peltola (Democrat) wins the US Senate seat in Alaska against Dan Sullivan (Republican) — US Midterm Elections November 3, 2026 (confirmed by AP or NBC News by November 5, 2026)

Polymarket gives Peltola a 72% win probability (as of November 3, 2026). The Democrat benefits from Alaska's Ranked Choice Voting system, which structurally favors cross-partisan candidates, as well as strong support from the Indigenous population and Alaska Native organizations. The national environment weighs on Sullivan: Polymarket gives Democrats a 72–77% probability of winning the Senate majority and 95% in the House. Early mail-ballot returns show a slight pro-Democratic lean in Alaska. Because Alaska uses ranked choice, a final count is not expected until November 5.
