This market will resolve to “Yes” if Ahmed al-Sharaa ceases to be President of Syria for any period of time between market creation and the specified date (ET). Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. An announcement of Ahmed al-Sharaa's resignation/removal before this market's end date will immediately resolve this market to "Yes", regardless of when the announced resignation/removal goes into effect. If the specified individual is detained, effectively removed from the specified position, or otherwise permanently prevented from fulfilling the duties of the specified position within this market’s timeframe, it will qualify for a “Yes” resolution. The resolution source for this market will be official information from Ahmed al-Sharaa and the government of Syria; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Ahmed al-Sharaa remains firmly entrenched as Syria's transitional president over a year after leading the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad, fueling trader consensus at 82% odds he stays in power through 2026. A February 2026 UN report detailed five foiled ISIL assassination attempts against him and ministers, highlighting persistent militant threats but effective countermeasures. Recent diplomatic strides, including a March 30 visit to Germany proposing Syria as a secure transit corridor and pledges to avoid U.S.-Israeli conflicts, signal growing international legitimacy following U.S. delistings and a November 2025 White House meeting with President Trump. Ceasefires with the Syrian Democratic Forces and territorial consolidations outweigh earlier southern unrest, reducing near-term ouster risks amid the transitional government's stabilization efforts.
