For the "Yes" outcome, Pedro Sánchez must receive a vote of confidence from the Congress of Deputies and be formally sworn in as Prime Minister by March 31, 2028, at 11:59 PM ET.

The market resolves to Yes if Pedro Sánchez becomes Prime Minister of Spain after the next general election and satisfies all constitutional requirements before August 22, 2028. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the deadline for the election date rather than the final resolution cutoff.
• Pedro Sánchez out as PM of Spain by December 31, 2026? — the market puts it at 23%, with $8k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Pedro Sánchez stops being Prime Minister at any point before December 31, 2026. This includes his resignation, removal, detention, or permanent prevention from duty.
