The probability that Farage exits as Reform UK leader currently sits at 27.5%. The market resolves to Yes if Nigel Farage ceases to be Leader of Reform UK for any period between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. An announcement of resignation or removal before that cutoff immediately triggers a Yes resolution, irrespective of when the change takes effect. Resolution sources are official information from Reform UK or a consensus of credible reporting. The contract’s exposure runs until Apr 1, 2027. Any formal resignation, removal, or credible reports of such would shift the probability sharply. No intermediate milestones are specified in the rules.
