PredictionHero - Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA)
Divergence Detected
Issue: Kalshi has an earlier resolution deadline (Jan 1, 2028) than Polymarket and Predict (June 30, 2027), potentially leading to different outcomes.Hero tip: Consider the differing deadlines when trading. Kalshi may resolve sooner, but has a higher risk of resolving to 'No' if a Prime Minister isn't confirmed quickly.Critical divergence points:
- Polymarket: Resolves to the next individual who officially assumes office as Prime Minister of Sweden following the 2026 election. If no PM is appointed by June 30, 2027, it resolves to 'Other'. "If no such Prime Minister assumes office by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “Other”.
- Kalshi: Resolves if a candidate becomes Prime Minister *before* January 1, 2028. "If [candidate] becomes Prime Minister of Sweden as a result of government formation following the 2026 Swedish general election and meets all constitutional requirements before Jan 1, 2028, then the market resolves to Yes."
Polymarket
Parliamentary elections are scheduled to be held in Sweden on September 13, 2026. This market will resolve to the next individual who is officially appointed and assumes office as Prime Minister of Sweden following the next parliamentary election. To count for resolution, the individual must officially assume office. Any interim or caretaker Prime Minister will not count toward the resolution of this market. If no such Prime Minister assumes office by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “Other”. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Government of Sweden; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
Kalshi
A candidate resolves to Yes if they become Prime Minister of Sweden following the 2026 general election through proper constitutional procedures before January 1, 2028. The person must be formally appointed, sworn in, or invested according to Sweden's constitutional requirements and must command the confidence of parliament through an investiture vote, formal approval, or constitutional convention. Critically, they must exercise the full powers of the office and not serve merely in a caretaker or acting capacity from the previous government. The appointment must directly result from the government formation process following the 2026 election. Interim arrangements do not qualify—serving as caretaker pending government formation, being designated to form a government without completing investiture, leading the party with the most seats without actually forming government, or holding the position temporarily during coalition negotiations all fail to meet resolution criteria. If no government forms by the deadline, all markets resolve to No unless a "No one" option exists. If new elections are called before government formation completes, markets resolve immediately. For rotating prime ministerial arrangements, the first person to satisfy all criteria resolves to Yes. If a candidate dies before taking office, their market resolves to last fair price while their successor may still resolve to Yes. Candidates not explicitly listed resolve to "Other" if available.
