This market will resolve to “Yes” if Lai Ching-te ceases to be President of Taiwan for any period of time between market creation and the specified date (ET). Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. An announcement of Lai Ching-te'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. If the specified individual is detained, effectively removed from the specified position, or otherwise permanently prevented from fulfilling the duties of the specified position within this market’s timeframe, it will qualify for a “Yes” resolution. The resolution source for this market will be official information from Lai Ching-te and the government of Taiwan; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Lai Ching-te assumed Taiwan’s presidency in May 2024 following his 2024 election victory and serves a fixed four-year term extending into 2028. As of mid-2026 he remains in office and continues to conduct official duties, including public addresses on cross-strait stability and participation in international forums. An opposition-led impeachment motion advanced through the Legislative Yuan in late 2025 but failed to reach the required two-thirds supermajority when put to a final vote in May 2026. No verified developments involving resignation, health-related incapacity, or other removal mechanisms have occurred. The high trader probability on “No” aligns with these institutional safeguards, the absence of successful legislative or other formal challenges to date, and the structural timeline that places the next scheduled presidential election after the market’s December 2026 resolution date.
