Settlement
Resolution criteria: - "Yes": Wins if Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is declared the winner of the 2026 Brazilian presidential election — either by securing a majority of valid votes in the first round (4 October 2026) or by winning the runoff (25 October 2026) — with the result confirmed by the Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE) strictly after 2026-10-02T09:08:24.232Z and at or before 2026-10-26T03:00:00.000Z. - "No": Wins if the TSE confirms, within the same window, that a candidate other than Lula da Silva has won the 2026 Brazilian presidential election (first round or runoff). Clarifications: - "Winner" means the candidate declared elected president by the TSE — either by obtaining more than 50% of valid votes in the first round, or by obtaining more valid votes than the opposing candidate in the runoff on 25 October 2026. - If the TSE has not officially declared a winner by 2026-10-26T03:00:00.000Z (e.g., results are delayed or disputed and no declaration has been made), neither condition above is met within the window.
