Important information: In the event of death, Kalshi may halt trading and settle the market at the last traded price prior to the death. If Kalshi determines that trading was materially affected by the circumstances leading to the death, it may instead settle at the last traded price before those circumstances became known or reasonably anticipated by the market. Please refer to our rulebook amendment for more details.

The market resolves based on who actually assumes the office of Supreme Leader, not who is elected or nominated. Acting or interim appointments count as holding the position if they formally assume the office. The person must be different from whoever held the position at market issuance - if the same person continues in office through the expiration date, all markets resolve to No. For countries where the equivalent position has a different title (e.g., Chancellor in Germany), the specific title will be used. Resolution is based on official announcements from the country's legislature or government, with The New York Times as a secondary source for confirmation.
