Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election (September 20, 2026): BSW (Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht) clears the 5% threshold and enters the Landtag (confirmed by state returning officer Mecklenburg-Vorpommern)

Pending ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 26. August 2026 · Predicted for 20. September 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle

Probability

47%

BSW posted strong results in the 2024 eastern German state elections (Thuringia 15.8%, Saxony 11.8%, Brandenburg 13.5%), but the national trend has since declined sharply. An open platform prediction expects BSW to fail the 5% threshold in Saxony-Anhalt (September 6, 2026). Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is structurally different: an SPD stronghold with traditionally stronger left-leaning voter dispositions — Wagenknecht's positions on peace negotiations and social justice may resonate more in M-V's rural constituencies than in SA. The Polymarket market on BSW (M-V) exists only for 'BSW wins the most seats' (0.1%) — clearing the threshold is a far lower bar. Without current M-V-specific polls, the estimate is conservative at 47%.

Data basis for this prediction

BSW Ergebnisse 2024: Thüringen 15,8%, Sachsen 11,8%, Brandenburg 13,5% (Bundeswahlleiter 2024)
Polymarket: 'BSW gewinnt meiste Sitze M-V' = 0,1%; AfD 87,5%, SPD 13,5% (26.08.2026)
Offene Vorhersage Plattform: BSW scheitert an 5%-Sperrklausel in Sachsen-Anhalt (6. Sept. 2026)

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.
