It's more interesting how many countries had one-term limit but abandoned it (Brazil, Venezuela, Bolivia, Colombia...) under Democratic governments. Itamar Franco couldn't run in 1994, despite having freaking 80% approvals.
Colombia restored the absolute ban on presidential re-election in 2015. As much as the 2004 amendment was adopted through legal procedures, it wouldn't have passed had the swing votes in a congressional commission not been bribed by the Uribe government.
Hah, I missed that. I can't think of any other Latin American country going from "no reelection" to "reelection allowed" to "no reelection, again."
In Brazil, there are always talks about ending reelection, but transitional procedures would make it chaotic. Some people desire to go back to a single 5 years-terms or 6 years-terms. Congresswoman Cristiane Brasil (PTB-RJ, daughter of Mensalao's Roberto Jefferson) proposed a constitutional ammendment to limit to 2 presidential terms against a Lula's comeback.
