One prediction market prices this story:
- Félix Tshisekedi — the market puts it at 7%, closing 1 Jan 2035. The market resolves to Yes if Félix Tshisekedi leaves office before any other listed leader. It resolves to No if he remains in power while another listed leader departs first. Readers often mistake the source of truth, focusing on rumors or opposition claims rather than the official confirmation of a leader's departure.
