FDP fails the 5% threshold at the Saxony-Anhalt state election and does not enter the Landtag (6 September 2026, confirmed by Saxony-Anhalt returning officer or tagesschau.de)

Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 29. August 2026 · Predicted for 6. September 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle
Probability
92%

The FDP polls at 2.9–3.0% in all available Saxony-Anhalt surveys — well below the 5% threshold. The wahlrecht.de aggregate and politpro.eu do not even list the FDP as a relevant parliamentary force. Political analysts and t-online.de assessments describe entry into the Landtag as impossible. Even the upper confidence bound of poll estimates remains well below 5%. This prediction carries the highest confidence level in the current portfolio.

Data basis for this prediction
  • dawum.de: FDP Sachsen-Anhalt Umfrageaggregat 2,9 % (Stand 29.08.2026)
  • politpro.eu / wahlrecht.de: FDP in keiner Umfrage über 3 % in Sachsen-Anhalt (Stand 29.08.2026)
  • t-online.de: Experten sehen FDP ohne Chance auf Landtagseinzug (Stand 29.08.2026)
  • Sitzprojektionen: 4 Fraktionen prognostiziert (AfD, CDU, Linke, SPD) – FDP nicht vertreten (politpro.eu, 29.08.2026)
Verdict: Hit
[Vorzeitig entschieden] FDP erhielt 2,4–2,5 % und zog nicht in den Landtag ein. Quelle: ZDF-Hochrechnung, wahlrecht.de

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.
