Will Friedrich Merz resign as CDU federal chairman?

🤖 Context

YES if Friedrich Merz publicly resigns from and thereby vacates the formal office of CDU federal chairman on or no later than October 1, 2026, either via a resignation statement or confirmation published by the CDU or by Merz himself, or via credible reporting by at least two independent major German news outlets that the CDU has acknowledged the resignation. A formal removal from office by a CDU decision before that date also counts as YES if confirmed by the same standard. If Merz announces an intention to resign but remains in office (no formal resignation accepted) by that date, the market resolves NO.
