Similarly, in Nicaragua – like Ecuador, also in Venezuela’s sphere of influence – the Supreme Court decided that President Daniel Ortega can run again, even though many legal scholars believe otherwise. In Argentina, Fernández and her late husband Néstor Kirchner have held power for 12 years combined, and it remains unclear whether she will attempt to amend the constitution in order to seek yet another term in 2015.
类似地，在尼加拉瓜——与厄瓜多尔一样，尼加拉瓜也在委内瑞拉的影响力圈之内——最高法院裁决总统奥尔特加可以再次连任，尽管许多法律学者对此并不认同。在阿根廷，基什内尔及其已故丈夫内斯托尔·基什内尔加起来已掌权12年，目前仍不清楚她是否会追求修改宪法从而在2015年继续追求连任。
