Ursula von der Leyen is serving her second five-year term as European Commission President, secured by European Parliament election in July 2024 and scheduled to conclude after the 2029 vote. As of October 2026, she continues to lead the Commission, participate in European Council meetings, deliver policy addresses such as the State of the Union, and manage ongoing priorities including enlargement, trade, and security. Recent no-confidence motions in the Parliament have been defeated by substantial margins, and official statements confirm her focus on completing the current mandate without disruption. These elements of institutional continuity and absence of successful challenges underpin trader consensus on her remaining in office through 2026.
