I expect Fudge *will* get kicked aside. My guess is that V will
machinate  Lucius into that office.  Arthur will become 
Minister of Magic after Malfoy bites the Big Blodger.

Unless Fudge is a closet DE, V will want his own guy in place.  So,
perhaps Fudge will go missing, or have an accident, or something. 
He might even turn up on the Hogwarts campus, babling a 
warning for D'Dore, like Crouch, Sr. did.

There might be a coups d' etat in the MoM, forcing Arthur into hiding
for awhile, but yes, I see him as Minister of Magic at the end of
book 7.
