This market will resolve to “Yes” if Mahmoud Abbas ceases to be President of the Palestinian National Authority for any period of time between market creation and the specified date (ET). Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. An announcement of Mahmoud Abbas'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 Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian National Authority; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Mahmoud Abbas, now 90, continues to lead the Palestinian Authority with no sign of immediate departure despite repeated postponements of national elections since his 2005 term expired. Recent developments include his May 2026 Fatah conference reelection as party leader alongside his son Yasser’s entry into the Central Committee, a July decree scheduling legislative elections for November 28 that excludes Hamas, and an October 2025 succession decree designating Hussein al-Sheikh as interim vice president for up to 90 days pending elections. Polling shows Marwan Barghouti leading potential successors, while external pressures such as U.S. plans to block Abbas from the September 2026 UN General Assembly and factional opposition add uncertainty. Presidential elections remain slated for 2027 amid ongoing questions over institutional reform and power transition.
