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 remains firmly entrenched as European Commission President through her second five-year term ending in 2029, following re-election by the European Parliament in July 2024 with 401 votes. Trader consensus at 85.5% for "No" reflects her repeated survival of no-confidence motions, including the fourth in January 2026 over the Mercosur trade deal—defeated 390-165—and two more in October 2025, underscoring broad centrist support and the high bar of a two-thirds censure majority required for removal. Recent addresses, such as her March 2026 EU Ambassadors Conference speech on security priorities and Davos remarks on European independence, signal ongoing leadership stability amid policy challenges, with no verified developments indicating resignation or ouster risks in 2026.
