Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to the individual who is formally elected or appointed as the next permanent, non-interim Chairman (Fraktionsvorsitzender) of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group (CDU/CSU-Fraktion im Deutschen Bundestag) to succeed Jens Spahn.

• Source of Truth: Resolution will be determined by official press releases from the CDU/CSU parliamentary group website or confirmed reports by major German news outlets (such as Spiegel, dpa, Bild, or Tagesschau).

Background

On July 18, 2026, Jens Spahn resigned from his position as Chairman of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the Bundestag. His resignation came after intense internal party pressure and accusations of hypocrisy regarding his and his husband's decision to use a surrogate mother in the United States, which directly clashed with the CDU/CSU’s strict, official opposition to commercial surrogacy.
