2 prediction markets price this story:

  • Will Recep Tayyip Erdoğan be the next leader out before 2027? — the market puts it at 0%, with $1k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Recep Tayyip Erdoğan permanently leaves his office before December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. Temporary suspensions, caretaker roles, or mere resignation announcements do not count as permanent removal. Readers often mistake the deadline for the end of 2027, but the cutoff is actually the end of 2026.
  • Recep Tayyip Erdoğan — the market puts it at 48%, closing 7 May 2030. The market resolves to Yes if Recep Tayyip Erdoğan wins the next Turkish presidential election. It resolves to No if he does not win that specific election. Readers often mistake the linked story about comedian Deniz Goktas for a factor in the outcome, but only the official election result matters.

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.
