This market will resolve to “Yes” if Sanae Takaichi ceases to be Prime Minister of Japan 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 Takaichi'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 Sanae Takaichi and the government of Japan; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used. Sanae Takaichi assumed office as Japan’s first female prime minister in October 2025 and strengthened her position with a February 2026 snap general election that delivered the Liberal Democratic Party a record postwar two-thirds supermajority in the lower house. Recent cabinet and party leadership reshuffles in September 2026 retained key allies and ministers, signaling continuity despite a modest dip in approval ratings to the mid-40s. With no scheduled LDP presidential contest until 2027 and strong parliamentary control limiting opposition leverage, traders assign high probability to her completing the year in office. Diplomatic engagements and policy implementation further reinforce her current mandate.
