Bündnis 90/Die Grünen fail to clear the 5% threshold at the Saxony-Anhalt state election (September 6, 2026) and do not enter the state parliament (confirmed by state returning officer or tagesschau.de by September 7, 2026)

Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 3. September 2026 · Predicted for 6. September 2026 · Based on: Statistical Pattern

Probability

87%

The Greens are structurally weak in East Germany. In the 2021 Saxony-Anhalt election they barely cleared 5.9%. Since then, they lost support sharply: Thuringia 2024: 3.2% (eliminated), Brandenburg 2024: 4.1% (eliminated), federal 2025 election in eastern constituencies well below 5%. Current polls for Saxony-Anhalt consistently show the Greens below 4%. No Polymarket contract; structural analogy to Thuringia/Brandenburg supports high probability.

Data basis for this prediction

Thüringen-Wahl Oktober 2024: Grüne 3,2 % — an Sperrklausel gescheitert (Landeswahlleiter TH)
Brandenburg-Wahl September 2024: Grüne 4,1 % — an Sperrklausel gescheitert (Landeswahlleiter BB)
Sachsen-Anhalt 2021: Grüne 5,9 % — historischer Vergleichswert (Landeswahlleiter SA)

Verdict: Miss

Die Vorhersage ist klar falsch eingetreten. Die Grünen erzielten bei der Sachsen-Anhalt Landtagswahl am 6. September 2026 laut wahlrecht.de und bestätigt durch Al Jazeera/Wikipedia ca. 8,93 % der Zweitstimmen – damit überwanden sie die 5%-Sperrklausel komfortabel und zogen mit 5 Sitzen in den Magdeburger Landtag ein. Das Ergebnis war sogar besser als 2021 (5,9 %). Die Analogie zu Thüringen (3,2 %) und Brandenburg (4,1 %) ging nicht auf: In Sachsen-Anhalt profitierten die Grünen offenbar von einer anderen Wählerstruktur oder einer Mobilisierung gegen die dominante AfD (44,2 %), die anders verlief als erwartet.

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.
