Polymarket: Gedion Timothewos's Premiership Odds Plummet as Abiy Ahmed Secures Another Term
A Polymarket prediction market on Gedion Timothewos becoming Ethiopia's next Prime Minister has seen its 'Yes' odds drop to 0.002 following the decisive re-election of incumbent Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed in the June 1, 2026 general elections.
The Polymarket prediction market, asking "Will Gedion Timothewos be the next Prime Minister of Ethiopia?", has effectively resolved with a near-zero probability for a 'Yes' outcome. This follows the recent Ethiopian General Elections held on June 1, 2026, which saw the incumbent Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's Prosperity Party (PP) secure an overwhelming majority, ensuring his continuation in office for another five-year term.
With a substantial trading volume of over $14 million, the market's current prices reflect a widespread consensus: "Yes" is trading at 0.002, while "No" stands at 0.998. These odds are strongly corroborated by the official results announced by the National Election Board of Ethiopia (NEBE) on June 21, 2026. The Prosperity Party won 438 out of the 501 contested seats in the House of Peoples' Representatives, granting them the mandate to form the new federal government and appoint the Prime Minister.
Gedion Timothewos, the subject of this prediction market, currently serves as Ethiopia's Minister of Foreign Affairs, a position he assumed on October 18, 2024. Prior to this, he held significant roles as Minister of Justice (from October 2021 to October 2024) and Attorney General (from November 2021). While a prominent figure in the Ethiopian government, there has been no indication or credible reporting suggesting he was a contender for the Prime Minister's office in the recently concluded elections or as a successor to Abiy Ahmed.
The 2026 general elections, while a demonstration of the state's institutional capacity, unfolded amid a complex political landscape. Several regions, including Tigray, Amhara, and Oromia, experienced ongoing conflicts and insecurity, leading to the exclusion of some areas from voting and concerns over a crackdown on dissent. Opposition parties voiced criticisms regarding political restrictions and the detention of rival leaders. Despite these challenges, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's Prosperity Party campaigned on its record of economic growth and improved food security.
Given the clear outcome of the elections and Abiy Ahmed's confirmed re-election, the market's strong lean towards "No" regarding Gedion Timothewos becoming the next Prime Minister is a rational reflection of the political reality on the ground. The market is set to resolve to the individual officially appointed and sworn in as Prime Minister following the 2026 General elections, and all current information points to Abiy Ahmed fulfilling this criteria.
