Predicted for 25. October 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
President Vučić dissolved parliament in September 2026 and called snap elections for 25 October 2026. SNS won the 2023 snap elections with 46.2%. Government-aligned polls (Faktor Plus, spring 2026) show the party at ~46%; independent institute CRTA estimates support at 35.7% (July 2026) — the first time since July 2010 that an opposition-friendly aggregate has led. Polymarket prices Vučić at 66.3% to become next Prime Minister. SNS controls state media and administrative resources, conferring structural campaign advantages; however, student protests and a strengthening opposition coalition are mounting pressure. Even if the independent CRTA estimate proves more accurate than party-aligned polls, a result above 40% remains likely — SNS historically stays above this threshold even under stress.

Polymarket prices Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) at 53% and Lula (PT) at 46% as overall election winner — these probabilities reflect the full two-round outcome, not first-round vote shares. Brazilian electoral law requires an outright majority (>50% of valid votes) to avoid a run-off; historically, smaller candidates jointly attract 8–15% of votes, making a run-off structurally near-inevitable. In 2022: Lula 48.4%, Bolsonaro 43.2% — no majority. With Simone Tebet, Ciro Gomes, and further candidates in 2026, a sub-50% first round for all leading candidates is near-certain. Prediction markets and Brazilian election analysts assess run-off probability at ~88%.

In the September 13, 2026 Riksdag election, the Social Democrats won 28.1% and 100 of 349 seats. The centre-left bloc (S + V + MP + C) secured 176 seats vs. 173 for the governing Tidö coalition. PM Kristersson is expected to resign by September 22 per an open Cassandra prediction. The Riksdag Speaker (Talman) then opens consultations; Andersson, as leader of the largest party with a clear bloc majority, is the only realistic candidate. A three-week window to October 7 is consistent with Swedish constitutional procedure. No Polymarket market available; probability based on the election result and constitutional process.

In the Russian State Duma election (September 18–20, 2026, three-day format), the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) under Leonid Slutsky is competing as the Kremlin-licensed systemic opposition. The LDPR has obtained between 8 and 14% in every Duma election since 1993 and has always been kept above the 5% threshold. Available polls (severely censored) show the LDPR at approximately 8–9%. The party serves as an institutional outlet for nationalist sentiment and is indispensable to the Kremlin — a result below 7.0% would be politically dysfunctional. No open Polymarket market found for LDPR result; calibration based on historical results and institutional function.
