In fact, in some Latin American countries, most obvious in Venezuela (under Hugo Chávez) and Nicaragua (under Daniel Ortega), autocratic rulers managed to stay in power by abolishing any limits on re-election. In sub-Saharan Africa, where more than 30 countries had introduced term limits in the course of the introduction of multi-party elections in the 1990s, a number of elected autocratic rulers abolished the prohibition to be re-elected after two terms, or simply ignored it. Examples include Burundi, Chad, Congo (Brazzaville), Ruanda as well as Uganda. In Egypt, the constitutional amendments of 2019 allow President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who has already been elected twice as president, to remain in power until 2030, if elected. In Central Asia, there are, for example, no bans on term limits for presidents in Tajikistan and Turkmenistan (abolished in 2016), and the constitutional maximum of two elected terms was ignored by the longstanding former president Islam Karimov in Uzbekistan (in office form 1990 to 2016).
