Sentence: " Seems the "death" of the XYZ is certain" or "Seems the XYZ's death is certain"

Note: The word "death" in the sentence has been used deliberately and sarcastically. Secondly, the XYZ is a name of a political party which I don't want to name Smile . So, if you feel difficulty in imagining or understanding, you can substitute XYZ with any political party's name .

My question: Which formation of the sentence is grammatically correct, one which has preposition "of" or one which has possessive form " 's" with the word XYZ ?

Thanks and regards Smile

@Razer,
I would put "It" in front of both sentences, but that is just me. Besides that both sentences are gramtically correct. It's just that one, like any sentence, has a different mood, a different voice, than the other sentence.
