This market will resolve to “Yes” if Ursula von der Leyen ceases to be the President of the European Commission for any period of time between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. An announcement of von der Leyen'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. The resolution source for this market will be official information from the European Commission and the European Union, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Ursula von der Leyen's re-election as European Commission President in July 2024, securing 401 votes in the European Parliament from a centrist coalition of EPP, Socialists, Renew, and Greens, followed by Senate-style confirmation hearings for her new College of Commissioners in October-November and their official inauguration on December 1, anchors trader consensus at 83% "No" for her departure by 2026. This procedural stability reflects her strengthened mandate amid post-election coalition negotiations, with no recent censure motions, resignations, or scandals threatening her term through 2029. Historical rarity of successful no-confidence votes in the Parliament further supports the low implied probability of an early exit, barring unforeseen diplomatic crises or internal EU rifts.
