Show full assessmentShow less

Resolution relies on determining whether the ruling party has lost de facto governing control or ceases to administer a majority of the population, which can be difficult to evaluate during fragmented transitions or extended civil conflict. No specific official body or registry decides the outcome; instead, resolution depends on evaluating a consensus of credible media reporting. The rules explicitly clarify that internal party leadership turnover, constitutional reforms that retain party control, and isolated civil unrest or localized loss of territory do not trigger a positive outcome.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve to “Yes” if the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) ceases to exercise de facto governing control over Cuba by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. A “Yes” resolution requires a clear and widely reported break from the PCC’s historical control over the government of Cuba. This may include events such as the overthrow or dissolution of the PCC and its replacement by a new government or transitional authority, the constitutional removal of the PCC’s status as the sole ruling party followed by a transfer of governing power to a different political entity, or the holding of multi-party national elections that result in a government not controlled by the PCC. A “Yes” resolution does not require the formal dissolution of the PCC, provided the PCC no longer exercises de facto governing control over Cuba. Leadership changes within the PCC, including replacement of the First Secretary, or governmental reforms that preserve the PCC’s de facto governing control over Cuba, will not suffice. Partial loss of territory, civil unrest, or challenges by rebel or exile groups will not qualify unless the PCC no longer administers the majority of the Cuban population within Cuba. The primary resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.

Market explained

This market measures whether the Communist Party of Cuba loses de facto governing control over Cuba by the end of 2026.

How it resolves

The market resolves to Yes if the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) ceases to exercise de facto governing control over Cuba by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Qualifying events include the PCC's overthrow, replacement by a transitional authority, power transfer via constitutional removal of its ruling status, or multi-party elections yielding a non-PCC government. Formal dissolution is not required, but civil unrest or partial territorial loss only qualifies if the PCC no longer administers the majority of the population. The market resolves to No if the PCC retains control, including cases where internal leadership changes or reforms preserve its rule. Resolution is decided by a consensus of credible reporting.

Key dates
