The UN Security Council fails at least once between September 22 and 28, 2026 due to a veto (Russia, China, or USA) on a resolution regarding Iran, the Middle East, or Ukraine (confirmed by UN press release or Reuters by September 29, 2026)

Probability

65%

The UN General Assembly holds its High-Level Week September 22–27, 2026; the UN Security Council meets regularly in parallel. With three active major conflicts (Iran War since February 28, 2026, Ukraine, Gaza), at least one UNSC session and draft resolution per week is the norm. Historically Russia exercises a UNSC veto every 3–4 weeks on average; China vetoes less often but often in tandem. In weeks coinciding with UNGA High-Level Segment and active war theaters, veto frequency increases. No Polymarket market; own calibration based on historical veto frequency.

Verdict: Miss

Das einzige UNSC-Veto im September 2026 zum Thema Iran (Russland + China gegen US-Resolution zur Verlängerung des Expertenausschusses für Iran-Sanktionen) fand am 17. September 2026 statt – fünf Tage vor dem geforderten Fenster 22.–28. September. In der UNGA-Hochwoche (22.–27. Sept.) gab es am 23. September zwar eine hochrangige Ukraine-Sitzung, aber keinen Abstimmungsversuch mit Veto. Quellen: Reuters/EuroNews 18. Sept. 2026 (https://www.euronews.com/2026/09/18/russia-and-china-veto-us-backed-resolution-to-monitor-iran-nuclear-sanctions), Security Council Report Oktober-Status-Update (https://www.securitycouncilreport.org/monthly-forecast/2026-10/status-update-since-our-september-forecast-8.php), Wikipedia-Vetoliste (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_vetoed_United_Nations_Security_Council_resolutions). Die Grundlogik der Vorhersage war korrekt (Veto fand statt), aber das präzise Zeitfenster wurde knapp verfehlt.

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.
