How this market settles

This market will resolve to “Yes” if Edi Rama ceases to be the Prime Minister of Albania 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 Rama'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 Edi Rama and the Albanian government; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

What could still go wrong

  • 'For any period of time' is broad — even a temporary suspension or caretaker arrangement could trigger YES, but this edge case is not explicitly addressed
  • Market creation date is not specified, creating ambiguity about the start of the resolution window
  • 'Consensus of credible reporting' is subjective and undefined, leaving room for disputes about what constitutes sufficient reporting
  • Timezone conversion: end date listed as December 31, 2026 11:59 PM ET but the market end date in UTC is 2027-01-01T04:59:00Z — these are consistent but the ET/UTC distinction should be tracked carefully during resolution
  • No explicit definition of what counts as 'ceasing to be PM' — e.g., does a constitutional caretaker role count?
