Parliamentary elections to elect the Abgeordnetehaus of Berlin are scheduled to take place in Berlin on September 20, 2026. This market will resolve to the next individual who officially assumes the office of Regierender Bürgermeister (Governing Mayor) of Berlin following the specified elections. To count for resolution, the individual must be officially sworn in. Any interim or caretaker Governing Mayor will not count toward the resolution of this market. If no such Governing Mayor takes office by May 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “Other”. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Abgeordnetenhaus of Berlin; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Elif Eralp of Die Linke holds the strongest position among candidates for Berlin's next governing mayor ahead of the September 20, 2026 Abgeordnetenhaus election, driven by her party's consistent lead in recent state polls at around 22 percent. This edge stems primarily from the July 2026 withdrawal of incumbent CDU mayor Kai Wegner over criticism of his crisis management during a major January power outage, which opened the door for Linke messaging on affordable housing, rent controls, and expropriation of large landlords. Stefan Evers, the CDU's replacement candidate and finance senator, trails as his party polls near 18 percent, while prospects for a left-leaning coalition involving the SPD and Greens bolster trader consensus around Eralp. Other contenders, including Greens' Werner Graf, SPD's Steffen Krach, and AfD's Kristin Brinker, register minimal shares aligned with single-digit to low-teens polling amid a fragmented field where no party exceeds 22 percent.
