Channel 7 announced the winners of its election prediction contest, which saw over 400 participants attempt to forecast the results of the 26th Knesset elections. Participants were asked to predict the number of mandates each party would receive. Despite the large number of entries, very few accurately predicted the final outcome.
After comparing the submitted predictions to the official results, Channel 7's system ranked participants based on the cumulative error in their mandate estimations. Eliezer and Koko tied for first place, having submitted the most accurate forecasts. Seven other participants, Ronen, Tzuriel, Noam, Avraham, Elisheva, Yehuda, and Ariel, were ranked next.
The top predictors, who came closest to the actual election results, were awarded prizes of double dinner meals. Channel 7 congratulated the winners and thanked the hundreds of participants for their engagement with the election process.
