Paragraph 47
 

On April 22, 2015, the Constitutional Division of the Supreme Court of Justice resolved two constitutional challenge suits, permitting indefinite presidential re-election in Honduras. In that judgment, the Court ruled on an action filed by 15 congressmen, almost all of them members of Partido Nacional, against the second paragraph of Article 239 and Article 42.5 (both) of the Constitution of the Republic and against Article 330 of the Criminal Code, and on an action brought by former President Rafael Callejas to have Article 239 of the Constitution36 declared inapplicable.
