General elections are scheduled to be held in Ethiopia on June 1, 2026. This market will resolve to the next individual who officially assumes the office of Prime Minister of Ethiopia following the 2026 General elections. To count for resolution, the individual must be officially appointed and sworn in as Prime Minister of Ethiopia. Any interim or caretaker Prime Minister will not count toward the resolution of this market. If no such Prime Minister takes office by December 31, 2028, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “Other”. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Government of Ethiopia; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Trader consensus heavily favors incumbent Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed at 91% implied probability to remain Ethiopia's next leader, driven by his Prosperity Party's dominance in the House of Peoples' Representatives, which elects the PM following the June 1, 2026 general election. Recent developments, including Abiy's appointment as African Union Champion for Artificial Intelligence, green energy policy expansions to electric heavy machinery, and infrastructure inaugurations, underscore government stability and preparations for the vote. Ongoing conflicts in Amhara and Oromia regions, alongside allegations of opposition suppression ahead of polling, temper optimism but have not eroded his commanding position. Scenarios like a parliamentary upset, major scandal, or escalated violence could challenge this, though traders see low risk given historical party control.
