Predicted for 3. October 2026
·
Based on: Speculative
According to PolitPro Election Trend (September 22, 2026), Latvia First (LPV) leads with 12.6% — projected at 15 seats — as the single strongest party. LPV already led in LSM's May 2026 survey (9.3%) with an EU-skeptic and economic-nationalist agenda. Risk factor: 27.7% of voters are still undecided, and the multi-party field (14 parties, 5% threshold) makes short-term swings likely. No prediction market available; calibrated solely from polls. Existing Cassandra predictions for this election (JV < 10%, Progresīvie > 10%) are consistent with an LPV win.

Bulgaria holds a presidential election on October 25, 2026 under a two-round system: only an absolute majority (>50% of valid votes) prevents a runoff on November 1. Since the introduction of direct presidential elections in 1992, in 100% of all Bulgarian cases a runoff has been required — the multi-party system structurally precludes a first-round decision. Main candidates in 2026 per current reports are incumbent Iliana Iotova and opposition candidate Andrey Gyurov; polls show no candidate above 40%. No Polymarket market available; implied probability based on historical base rate: >90%.

All available polls show Lula (PT) at 36–44% and Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) at 35–41% — both well short of the absolute majority of 50% of valid votes required for a first-round win. Polymarket gives both candidates a 97% probability of advancing to the runoff; overall win probability: Flávio Bolsonaro 57–61%, Lula 38–42%. Since no third candidate holds a realistic blocking majority, the October 25 runoff is virtually unavoidable. Brazilian electoral law: without an absolute majority in the first round, the winner is determined in a runoff between the top two finishers.

Jaunā Vienotība was the leading coalition party in 2022 with 26.1% and currently holds 25 seats in the 14th Saeima. Current PolitPro Election Trend projections show JV at only ~9 seats (≈9%), a collapse of nearly 17 percentage points. Apvienotais saraksts leads clearly at 22.8%. No Polymarket or Kalshi market with explicit JV odds found; calibration based on aggregated seat projections from multiple independent Latvian polling institutes. Main risk: late swing of former JV voters back to their party, or lower turnout among young voters, could push JV just above the 10% mark.
