You are right in saying Fudge was still MoM at the end of OOP, but 
JKR has definitely stated there will be a new MoM.  On her web  site,
if you go to the RUMORS section, you can read a clipping from the 
daily prophet scrolling along the bottom of the page stating that  Fudge
had been chased from office.  I'm not certain that it is still up, but  it 
definatly
was there not so long ago.  Also JKR has made these  statements:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
miggs: Is there going to be a new minister of magic in the next  books?
JK Rowling replies -> Yes. Ha! Finally, a concrete bit of  information, I 
hear you cry!
 
Rumors
Harry will be asked to be MoM in book 7
JKR: Seventeen is much too young to enter politics
 
F.A.Q.
Will Author Weasley be the new MoM?
Alas, no.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
It was also one of the "book 6 predictions" threads that was running on 
the OT Chatter list, and if I remember correctly many people are  guessing
it will be Amelia Bones.  I for one think that it will be an unknown  DE, so 
that
it will add to the conflict with the Order of Phoenix.
