Is Juan Daniel Oviedo’s seat in the Bogotá Council at risk?

According to the plaintiff, the former candidate for Mayor who came in second place, had “signed the lease contract for a property in the form of direct contracting with the National Guarantee Fund (FNG), a commercial and economic corporation. mixed of the national order, linked to the Ministry of Finance.”

This, according to the lawsuit, would show that Juan Daniel Oviedo would be disqualified, since his contract had an execution period until December 31, 2023 for 106 million pesos.

“It is clear that the defendant was disqualified from being registered as a candidate for the Mayor of Bogotá DC, a disqualification provided for in paragraph 3 of article 95 of Law 136 of 1994, since within the twelve months prior to the elections he signed, in self-interest, a contract with a national public entity, whose place of execution corresponds to Bogotá DC,” the lawsuit states.

It should be noted that months ago, when the councilor was notified of the lawsuit, he said that he had not incurred any irregularity and that he would present material elements so that the authorities could corroborate that he was not disqualified either from being a candidate or from holding a position in the Bogotá Council. .
