The Social Democrats (S) receive the mandate to form government after the September 13, 2026 Riksdag election and provide Sweden's new Prime Minister by October 31, 2026 (confirmed by Riksdag or SVT)

Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 3. September 2026 · Predicted for 31. October 2026 · Based on: Ongoing Event
Probability
85%

Prediction markets assign the left bloc (S+V+MP) a win probability above 98% (Polymarket, lines.com, as of September 2026). Projections show Socialdemokraterna with approximately 111 seats as the clearly largest party; Liberalerna (L) fails the 4% threshold per the existing platform prediction — reducing the right-bloc base. Without L, the right bloc (M+SD+KD) would hold ~159 seats vs. left bloc (S+V+MP) ~164 seats. The Riksdag Speaker would then designate the S party leader as formateur. Historically, Swedish government formation has taken 4–6 weeks after the election (deadline: October 31).

Data basis for this prediction
  • Polymarket: Sweden Parliamentary Election Winner — Linksblock >98% (Stand September 2026)
  • lines.com / polyprediction.app: Social Democrats win 2026 Swedish election; next PM of Sweden odds

  • Wahl zum Schwedischen Reichstag 2026 — de.wikipedia.org (Projektionen Stand September 2026)
Verdict: Miss
Der Linksblock gewann die Wahl knapp (176:173 Sitze), und Reichstagssprecher Andreas Norlén beauftragte Magdalena Andersson (S) am 18. September 2026 tatsächlich mit der Regierungsbildung. Damit erhielt S den Regierungsauftrag wie vorhergesagt. Jedoch: Beim ersten Riksdag-Votum am 15. Oktober 2026 wurde Andersson als Premierministerin mit 248 Nein- gegen nur 99 Ja-Stimmen abgelehnt – alle anderen Parteien stimmten gegen sie, nur S stimmte dafür. Danach sondierte Centerpartiets Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist (beauftragt am 19. Oktober) eine parteienübergreifende Koalition (C+S+KD+MP+L), scheiterte aber am 26. Oktober. Am 3. November 2026 wurde auch Thand Ringqvist im Riksdag mit 324:25 Stimmen abgelehnt. Bis zum 31. Oktober 2026 war somit keine neue Regierung bestätigt. Kerngründe für das Verfehlen: (1) Liberalerna scheiterte entgegen der Prognose nicht an der 4%-Hürde; (2) V und MP unterstützten Andersson im Votum nicht; (3) die Regierungsbildung dauerte weit über Oktober hinaus an, mit Kristersson als weiterhin amtierendem Premier.

Alberto Núñez Feijóo (PP) secures parliamentary majority with Vox coalition and becomes Spanish Prime Minister — General Election 29 November 2026 (confirmed by Junta Electoral Central or AP by 1 December 2026)

Spain holds a general election on 29 November 2026. Polymarket prices Feijóo as next PM at 85%, Kalshi at 82% — both serve as anchors. A separate Polymarket market gives PP+Vox a 92% probability of a joint majority (>176/350 seats). Current polls (Sondaxe) show PP at 29.2% narrowly ahead of PSOE (26.9%); Vox is tracking slightly higher. Feijóo failed to form a government in 2023, but market odds reflect the lesson learned: PP+Vox is now seen as stable enough. No deviation from market anchor warranted.

Roger Wicker (Republican) retains the US Senate seat in Mississippi after recount — confirmed by AP or NBC News by 20 November 2026

With 97% of votes counted, Republican incumbent Roger Wicker leads by just 28 votes per NBC News live results (04.11.2026) — one of the closest Senate races in history. Mississippi election law requires an automatic recount when the margin falls below 0.5% of total votes, expected to conclude by 15–20 November. The remaining 3% of ballots originate primarily from rural precincts with historically higher Republican turnout, giving Wicker a slight statistical edge. No specific Polymarket market for Mississippi was identified.

Mary Peltola (Democrat) wins the US Senate seat in Alaska against Dan Sullivan (Republican) — US Midterm Elections November 3, 2026 (confirmed by AP or NBC News by November 5, 2026)

Polymarket gives Peltola a 72% win probability (as of November 3, 2026). The Democrat benefits from Alaska's Ranked Choice Voting system, which structurally favors cross-partisan candidates, as well as strong support from the Indigenous population and Alaska Native organizations. The national environment weighs on Sullivan: Polymarket gives Democrats a 72–77% probability of winning the Senate majority and 95% in the House. Early mail-ballot returns show a slight pro-Democratic lean in Alaska. Because Alaska uses ranked choice, a final count is not expected until November 5.
