Trade: Aziz Akhannouch out as Morocco Prime Minister by December 31, 2026?

Market context

Aziz Akhannouch has served as Prime Minister of Morocco since September 2021, leading a coalition government formed after the 2021 legislative elections in which his RNP party secured the largest share of seats. The 85% implied probability on Polymarket's order book reflects substantial trader conviction that he will no longer hold the office by year-end 2026, a span of roughly two years from the market's creation. This probability is being formed across the platform's active order book, where traders are pricing in various removal scenarios against the baseline of continued tenure.

Morocco's recent political history shows frequent prime ministerial transitions, though typically through electoral cycles rather than mid-term departures. Akhannouch's coalition has faced internal tensions, particularly between his RNP and the Islamist PJD, which lost its leading position in 2021 after a decade of governance. Previous prime ministers including Saad Eddine El Othmani and Abdelilah Benkirane both served single terms before electoral transitions. The current 85% probability suggests traders view Akhannouch's coalition stability as fragile relative to the two-year timeframe.

Key catalysts include the scheduled 2025 local elections, which could reshape coalition dynamics and trigger government restructuring, and any major policy disputes within the ruling coalition that might force a reshuffle. Economic pressures, including inflation and unemployment concerns, could destabilise the government's political base. Traders should monitor parliamentary voting patterns and statements from coalition partners regarding confidence in the current administration.

How this market resolves

Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour dispute window opens, and if no one stakes a counter-claim the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token-holder voting. Payouts clear in USDC to the winning side.

How active is this market?

$151K in lifetime turnover and $13K of resting liquidity puts this market in the top 30% by volume for world contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is modest — expect a couple of cents of slippage on $1k+ trades.

Last 24 hours alone saw $3 in turnover, consistent with the market's lifetime daily-average pace.

The market has been open for 7 months — long enough that the order book is mature and price is well-anchored to fundamentals.

Higher-volume markets tend to have tighter spreads and faster price discovery — meaning the displayed YES/NO percentages are more likely to reflect the true crowd-implied probability rather than a single trader's directional view.

Key terms

YES / NO share

A binary outcome token that pays $1.00 if the underlying claim resolves true (YES) or false (NO), and $0 otherwise. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.

CLOB

Central limit order book. The matching engine that pairs YES buyers with NO buyers (effectively the same trade). Polymarket's CLOB on Polygon executes trades on-chain via the conditional-tokens framework.

Liquidity

USDC capital sitting in resting limit orders inside the order book. Deeper liquidity means smaller slippage on large trades and a tighter bid-ask spread.

UMA optimistic oracle

The on-chain dispute system that settles each Polymarket market. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution.

Slippage

The difference between the displayed mid-price and your fill price. Affects market orders most; limit orders avoid slippage but may take time to fill.

Conditional token

ERC-1155 outcome share issued by Gnosis Conditional Tokens on Polygon. The token type that resolves to $1.00 or $0.00 at settlement.

Frequently asked questions

Risk and regulatory note

Prediction-market positions can lose 100% of staked capital. Outcomes are uncertain by definition — historical accuracy of crowd-implied probabilities is high in aggregate but not for any single market. PolyGram does not provide investment advice. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose.

Regulatory status varies by jurisdiction. Germany, the United States, and most EU countries treat Polymarket-style event contracts under one of three frameworks: financial derivative, gambling product, or unregulated novel asset. Consult local counsel before trading.
