A magistrate in Colombia’s highest administrative court declared that controversial Inspector General Alejandro Ordoñez could have his mandate nullified, Colombian media reported on Thursday.
Alberto Yepes, a magistrate in Colombia’s Council of State — the nation’s highest administrative court — cited six reasons that could get Inspector General Alejandro Ordoñez removed from his post.
The coming days will consist of a debate among members of the Council of State on whether or not the arguments have the power to nullify his term, according to television station CM&.
Yepes claims that the 2012 re-election of Inspector General Alejandro Ordoñez was illegal, and presented evidence to Colombia’s W Radio. Ordoñez’s term is slated to last until 2016. There was controversy at the time of his re-election, where it was also questioned whether the position of Inspector General was even allowed to be re-elected.
