The Supreme Court of Argentina is reviewing the constitutionality of recent reforms in the province of Formosa regarding gubernatorial term limits. The legal dispute focuses on whether these reforms allow Governor Gildo Insfrán to seek a ninth consecutive term in the 2027-2031 period. While the province established a new limit of two consecutive terms for the governor and vice-governor, the reform includes a controversial transitory clause. This clause treats the current mandate as a first term under the new constitution, effectively resetting the count. The Supreme Court, citing a previous 2024 ruling that declared indefinite reelection unconstitutional due to the “intolerable cost to the republican system,” has asserted its competence to rule on the matter.
