What these numbers say
«Abiy Ahmed» dominates at 98 % — 97 points clear. That gap is the market saying it considers the matter mostly resolved, not that it cannot be wrong.
8 outcomes are priced on this event, and the top three hold only 24 % of the money. That is a field without a consensus favourite — the betting is spread across the board rather than concentrated on one name.
Some $285 821 648 is committed to this question. Money does not make a market correct, but it does make it slow to move on rumour alone.
The market closes 2026-06-01. Prices move most in the days right before that, when the outcome stops being a forecast and starts being a fact.
Read the percentages as the market's own odds, not as our prediction. A 70 % outcome is expected to lose three times in ten — if it never did, the price would not be 70 %.
How this market settles
General elections are scheduled to be held in Ethiopia on June 1, 2026. This market will resolve to the next individual who officially assumes the office of Prime Minister of Ethiopia following the 2026 General elections. To count for resolution, the individual must be officially appointed and sworn in as Prime Minister of Ethiopia. Any interim or caretaker Prime Minister will not count toward the resolution of this market. If no such Prime Minister takes office by December 31, 2028, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “Other”. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Government of Ethiopia; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
