This market will resolve to the individual who officially holds the position of the head of state of Venezuela on Dec 31, 2026 at 12 PM ET. For the purposes of this market, "officially holds" refers to the individual that was formally appointed, confirmed (if confirmation is required), and sworn in as the head of state of Venezuela or otherwise confirmed by official government information as being the head of state of Venezuela. If the Venezuelan government does not clearly state who is the head of state, the market will resolve to the individual who is listed as the Head of State by the UN (see: https://www.un.org/dgacm/en/content/protocol/hshgnfa). In the event that more than one official head of state is listed by the Venezuelan government, this market will resolve to the individual who is listed as having primary status. If no distinction is made, the market will resolve to the individual who first assumed the position. If no individual holds the position this market will resolve to “No Head of State”. The following do NOT constitute "officially holding" the role: nominated, announced, or designated as the head of state of Venezuela but appointment not yet effective; appointed with an effective date after Dec 31, 2026; previously served as the head of state of Venezuela but term has expired, resigned, or been terminated before Dec 31, 2026; serving as the head of state of Venezuela in a consultant, contractor, or unofficial capacity; named as successor or heir apparent to the head of state of Venezuela but not yet appointed; or holding a different role with oversight of the head of state of Venezuela but not the specified position itself. The primary resolution source will be official information from the UN recognized government of Venezuela. If the Government of Venezuela does not clearly state who is the head of state, information from the UN and a consensus of credible reporting may be used. Note: this market is mutually exclusive. Trader consensus favors Nicolás Maduro at 67% implied probability as Venezuela's head of state by December 31, 2026, despite his January 3 capture by U.S. forces and ongoing detention in New York on narco-terrorism charges, reflecting doubts over the legitimacy of the post-capture transition under constitutional rules capping interim presidencies at 90 days—now expired without elections. Delcy Rodríguez, Maduro's former vice president sworn in as acting president by the Supreme Court, holds 20% odds amid her recent purges of Maduro allies reported April 18 and U.S. sanctions relief on April 1, signaling consolidation but international recognition challenges, including UN listings. Opposition leader María Corina Machado eyes a return and polls for swift democratic votes, yet no timeline exists, with U.S. aid tied to reforms.
