Tracks the leading outcome in a winner-take-all prediction market set with 2 outcomes.

Why this matters:
This contract estimates a 16% probability that Taiwan's Premier Cho Jung-tai will leave office by a specified date. The low probability reflects that Cho currently holds a stable position within the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government under President Lai Ching-te. The main factors that could shift this probability are significant political crises, health issues, internal party conflicts, or major policy failures that force a resignation or removal. Taiwan's political calendar, including legislative developments and cross-strait tensions, would likely drive movement in this contract. The absence of immediate succession pressure or announced transitions explains the baseline low probability, though unexpected political shocks could rapidly change the assessment.

Key factors:
- Cho Jung-tai's current political standing and relationship with President Lai Ching-te, as measured by public statements and coalition stability
- Domestic political developments in Taiwan including DPP internal dynamics and potential legislative conflicts that could force ministerial changes
- Cross-strait developments with China that could trigger government restructuring or emergency transitions
- Cho's health status and any public indicators of his ability to continue in the role
- Comparison to similar Asian political figures' tenure stability and typical replacement timelines in Taiwan's government structure

- Taiwanese Premier Cho Jung-tai out by...?: December 31 — 17¢ Polymarket $0 (weight 50%)
- Taiwanese Premier Cho Jung-tai out by...?: June 30 — 3¢ Polymarket $0 (weight 50%)
