Will Winston Peters be the next Prime Minister of New Zealand after the 2026 elections?

<1% say Winston Peters wins

No price change recorded today yet.

Decided by the election on November 7, 2026, using official government/military statements plus a credible reporting.

Polymarket lists November 7, 2026 as the end date, but the rules allow until December 31, 2027.

Each share pays $1 if it happens, so a price under 1¢ means less than a 1% chance.
