Mahmoud Abbas, the long-serving Palestinian Authority president and Fatah leader, has remained in office beyond his original term amid stalled elections and internal party dynamics. In 2025 he formalized Hussein al-Sheikh as interim successor through constitutional declarations and a new vice-presidential role. At the May 2026 Fatah conference Abbas was re-elected unanimously and pledged reforms alongside legislative elections now scheduled for November 28, 2026, with presidential voting eyed for 2027. These steps, combined with his advanced age, shape trader views on the timing of any leadership change, though analysts note repeated past cancellations of polls and structural barriers within the Palestinian National Authority and PLO institutions that could delay or alter outcomes.
