National Deputy Fernando Carbajal filed a petition today to the Supreme Court to ban the potential reelection of incumbent Governor Gildo Insfrán. The move comes in the aftermath of the Court’s recent decision to suspend elections for governor in Tucumán and San Juan last week. He also served twice as vice governor, meaning that he has been in the Formosa government since 1987. On Sunday 21, the Formosa Justicialista Party is scheduled to announce the candidates that will run in the June 25 elections for governor and deputies. It claims that Insfrán’s candidacy causes “serious institutional damage,” and referred to the precedent set in San Juan and Tucumán.
