Will Sanae Takaichi announce their departure as Prime Minister of Japan before Jul 1, 2027?

If Sanae Takaichi leaves (or announces she will leave) as Prime Minister of Japan before Jul 1, 2027, then the market resolves to Yes. This market resolves based on when the departure is publicly announced or officially communicated, regardless of the effective date. An announcement that merely acknowledges the end of Sanae Takaichi's term as Liberal Democratic Party president, such as confirming the leadership election date, does not count; an announcement that she will not seek another term counts. A formal resignation after which she continues in office and is re-designated, such as the Cabinet's resignation en masse after a House of Representatives election, does not count. If the person leaves the role due to death (i.e., if the person dies while holding the role), all contracts on the person may resolve to the last fair price as determined in the sole discretion of the Exchange. Temporary leaves of absence, suspensions, or recusals do not constitute leaving, resigning from, or retiring from the role unless the individual formally and permanently ceases to hold the position. If the person vacates the role and then re-occupies the role, the contract may settle on the initial vacation of the role. The full rules are on the Kalshi market. Resolution: this play-money market resolves to the same result as the official Kalshi market settlement, linked as this market's resolution source. Observation time: the source market's final settlement after trading closes at 2027-07-01T03:59:00Z (UTC). If the source market is voided, cancelled, or its result is unavailable or ambiguous, this market is voided and positions are refunded.
