Narendra Modi’s third term as India’s prime minister, secured in the 2024 general election, runs until mid-2029 under the Lok Sabha’s fixed five-year schedule. Recent cabinet adjustments and BJP planning focus explicitly on strengthening the NDA’s position ahead of the next national vote, with no constitutional or procedural triggers—such as a successful no-confidence motion or mandatory resignation—forcing an exit before December 2026. Public polling continues to rank Modi as the leading preference for the role despite modest dips in approval, while opposition assertions of an imminent departure remain unsubstantiated partisan commentary. Fact-checks have repeatedly dismissed circulating claims of resignation, and the government’s parliamentary arithmetic shows continued stability. These structural and political realities underpin the overwhelming trader view that Modi will remain in office through the end of the year.
