Labour candidate Andy Burnham holds the strongest implied probabilities for a 6-9% or larger margin in the 18 June Makerfield by-election, driven by his established local profile as Greater Manchester mayor and tactical support from Green and Liberal Democrat voters aimed at blocking Reform UK. Reform candidate Robert Kenyon benefits from recent local council gains and broader anti-incumbent sentiment, keeping the contest competitive and capping the most likely margins in single digits. Traders price narrower Burnham victories or small Kenyon leads lower, reflecting polling trends, Kenyon’s campaign setbacks from prior comments, and expectations of subdued turnout in this high-profile contest triggered by the prior MP’s resignation. The distribution of probabilities aligns with the seat’s 2024 Labour majority and ongoing national party pressures.

This market will resolve according to the margin of victory between the top two candidates in the specified election.
For the purpose of this market, the “margin of victory” is defined as the absolute difference between the percentages of valid votes received by the first-place and second-place candidates. Percentages of the valid votes received by each candidate will be determined by dividing the total number of valid votes each of the top two candidates receives by the sum of all valid votes cast in the election.
If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher placed bracket.
If two or more candidates tie for the most valid votes in this election, and the tie is between two candidates listed, this market will resolve to the lowest margin bracket for the candidate whose listed last name comes first in alphabetical order. If the tie is between a listed candidate and an unlisted candidate, this market will resolve to the lowest margin bracket for the listed candidate. If the tie is between two or more unlisted candidates, this market will resolve to “Other.”
This market will resolve based on the official vote count once the count has been made official.
If the election results are not known definitively by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other".
The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting. In case of ambiguity, this market will resolve solely based on official election results as published by Wigan Council (https://www.wigan.gov.uk/).
If a recount is initiated before the vote total has been made official, the market will remain open until the recount is completed and the vote is made official.
