Mahmoud Abbas, the 90-year-old president of the Palestinian Authority and chairman of both the PLO and Fatah, remains in office amid ongoing succession arrangements and calls for democratic renewal. In 2025, the PLO established a vice-presidency and Abbas issued a constitutional declaration designating Hussein al-Sheikh as interim successor for a renewable 90-day term in the event of a vacancy, bypassing the long-dormant Legislative Council. At the May 2026 Fatah conference, Abbas was re-elected party leader while advancing his son Yasser within the central committee; he also pledged local elections, a Fatah congress, Palestinian National Council polls, and eventual general elections tied to the post-Gaza war timeline. These moves, alongside his advanced age and history of postponing elections, shape trader assessments of near-term leadership change versus continuity through controlled transition.
