One prediction market prices this story:

  • Rahul Gandhi — the market puts it at 31%, with $5 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 30 Apr 2030. The outcome is Yes if Rahul Gandhi becomes Prime Minister of India due to government formation after the next general election and meets all constitutional requirements before April 30, 2030. The outcome is No otherwise. Readers often mistake the deadline for the date of the election rather than the final resolution date.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
