3 prediction markets price this story:

• Luca Niculescu — resolved “Yes” on 20 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Luca Niculescu becomes the first new Prime Minister of Romania after the question is issued. It resolves to No if someone else holds that position first or if he never takes office. Readers often mistake the date of the news headline for the start of the countdown, but only appointments occurring after issuance count.
• Will the Social Democratic Party (PSD) be included in the next Romanian government? — resolved “Yes” on 20 Oct 2026. The Yes outcome occurs if the Social Democratic Party joins the next governing coalition and provides at least one Cabinet minister. The No outcome applies if the party stays out, supports the government without holding a post, or if no government forms by December 31, 2027. Readers often mistake external support agreements for official inclusion; only parties with a Cabinet minister count.
• Will the next governing coalition of Romania include PSD? — resolved “Yes” on 20 Oct 2026. The Yes outcome requires that the Social Democratic Party (PSD) joins the first government formed after this market opens and holds at least one cabinet minister position. The No outcome applies if PSD does not hold a cabinet post in that specific coalition, even if it supports the government from outside.
