Kalshi
This market tracks whether the United Party for National Development will win the next Zambian National Assembly election, currently priced at 63.0% on Kalshi. The second-place outcome stands at 10.0%. Resolution will be determined by the official results of the election, expected to be held by August 2026 at the latest. Watch for the announcement of the official election date and any major shifts in political positioning as Zambia approaches the 2026 electoral deadline.
Resolution is determined by the official certification or declaration of the election winner by the relevant Zambian electoral authority. For legislative elections, the winning party or alliance is the one that secures more seats than any other party or alliance. If the election is postponed, the contract remains open until the new date, with a maximum two-year extension. Contested results are resolved based on the final certified outcome by the appropriate electoral authority or highest court with jurisdiction.
The market resolves on Jan 1, 2027, following the official conclusion of the Zambian National Assembly election. Resolution is determined by the official results announced by Zambia's Electoral Commission or the relevant governing authority. The winning outcome is the candidate or party that secures the most seats or achieves the threshold required to form government, depending on the specific market structure. Traders should monitor official election announcements and any post-election dispute resolution processes that may affect final outcome determination.
Key catalysts include major campaign announcements, leadership changes, coalition formations, and endorsements from influential political figures or civil society groups. Economic developments—inflation, unemployment, currency movements—often sway voter sentiment and can shift market prices. Regional political shifts in Southern Africa may also influence Zambian electoral dynamics. Polling releases, debate performances, and voter registration data provide concrete signals that traders incorporate into prices. Security incidents, governance crises, or international developments affecting Zambia's standing could reshape electoral expectations. Media coverage and social media momentum may signal emerging voter enthusiasm or disengagement, prompting repricing across outcomes.
