The market resolves to Yes if Narendra Modi officially announces his intention to leave office or actually leaves as Prime Minister of India before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked news story about a chipmaking investment for an announcement regarding his departure.
  • Narendra Modi — the market puts it at 45%, closing 30 Apr 2030. The outcome is Yes if Narendra Modi becomes Prime Minister after the next Indian general election and satisfies all constitutional requirements before April 30, 2030. The outcome is No if he does not meet these conditions within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the deadline for the date of the election rather than the final date by which he must assume office.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
