Predicted for 25. October 2026
·
Based on: Speculative
Polymarket sees Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro tied at approximately 40% each in the first round (October 4), consistent with the open platform prediction of a runoff. Factors favouring Lula: incumbent governmental networks, proven PT coalition, Flávio Bolsonaro's weaker profile (less evangelical affinity, lower institutional anchorage than Jair). In 2022, Lula beat Jair Bolsonaro in the runoff 50.9% to 49.1%. Uncertainty remains: polarised electorate, ~30% evangelical bloc potentially mobilisable as a bloc. Own calibration: ~57%.
Data basis for this prediction
- Polymarket Brasilien-Wahl 1. Runde: Lula ~40 %, Flávio Bolsonaro ~40 % (Stand 25.09.2026)
- TSE Brasilien-Stichwahl 2022: Lula 50,9 % vs. Jair Bolsonaro 49,1 % (Tribunal Superior Eleitoral)
- Eurasia Review 24.09.2026: 'Brazil at the Crossroads – The October 2026 Election'

PM Lecornu leads a fragile minority coalition. France's 10-year OAT yield exceeded 4.5% in September 2026 for the first time since 2008 (CNBC, Sept 24, 2026). France already used Article 49.3 to pass the 2024 and 2025 budgets after two predecessor governments fell. The PLF 2027 is typically introduced in late September/early October; the NFP-RN opposition majority has signaled it would reject the draft. Without a constructive majority, 49.3 is the only constitutional tool for passage. No direct prediction market; historical repeat-usage rate supports 58%.

Polymarket shows 92.5% for Democrats winning the House (as of approximately September 24, 2026). President Trump's approval ratings are below 40% amid economic discontent and ongoing foreign conflicts. Historically the president's party loses an average of 26 House seats at midterms; Republicans currently hold a razor-thin majority. Generic Congressional Ballot shows double-digit Democratic leads. The broader balance-of-power market prices a full Democratic sweep of both chambers at 65.5%. Market odds adopted as anchor, marginal downward adjustment to 91% for historical polling uncertainty.

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.
