Cristina Pardo
Cristina Pardo is not the current president of Colombia’s Constitutional Court. In 2026, the court’s president is Paola Andrea Meneses Mosquera.
Full reasoning
This Wikipedia page identifies Cristina Pardo as the "President of the Constitutional Court," but official 2026 court materials show that office is held by Paola Andrea Meneses Mosquera.
Evidence:
- A 2026 Constitutional Court communiqué is signed by "Paola Andrea Meneses Mosquera, Presidenta, Corte Constitucional de Colombia."
- The court’s 2026 materials also list the Sala Plena 2026 with Paola Andrea Meneses Mosquera as Presidenta.
That directly contradicts the page’s statement that Cristina Pardo is the current president of the Constitutional Court.

Luis Antonio Hérnandez
Luis Antonio Hernández is not the current president of Colombia’s Supreme Court of Justice. The court elected Iván Mauricio Lenis Gómez as president in January 2026.
Full reasoning
The page lists Luis Antonio Hérnandez as the president of the Supreme Court of Justice, but the Supreme Court’s own official announcement says otherwise.
On January 22, 2026, the court reported that its full chamber elected magistrate Iván Mauricio Lenis Gómez as the new president of the corporation. That means Luis Antonio Hernández is not the current holder of that office.
Because this is a direct statement from the Supreme Court announcing the election of its president, it is strong primary-source evidence that the article’s identification is outdated and incorrect.

Aurelio Enrique Rodríguez
Aurelio Enrique Rodríguez is not the current president of Colombia’s Superior Council of the Judiciary. The Council elected Mary Lucero Novoa Moreno as president for 2026.
Full reasoning
The article identifies Aurelio Enrique Rodríguez as the president of the Superior Council of the Judiciary, but the Judiciary’s official site says that is no longer correct.
On January 28, 2026, the Consejo Superior de la Judicatura announced that it elected Mary Lucero Novoa Moreno as president and Claudia Expósito Vélez as vice president for the year 2026.
That official announcement directly contradicts the page’s statement that Aurelio Enrique Rodríguez is the current president of the council.

According to article 125 of the constitution, ratified in 2018, no person who has been elected for a presidential term can be elected for a second.
This sentence cites the wrong constitutional article and wrong reform date. Colombia’s ban on presidential reelection is in Article 197, as amended by Acto Legislativo 02 de 2015, not Article 125 ‘ratified in 2018.’
Full reasoning
The sentence is inaccurate in its legal citation and date.
- Colombia’s constitutional rule barring presidential reelection appears in Article 197, not Article 125.
- The relevant constitutional reform was Acto Legislativo 02 de 2015, published on July 1, 2015. The constitutional text and official legal databases reflect that Article 197 was the provision amended to restore the ban on reelection.
So while the sentence points to a real reelection prohibition, it misidentifies both where that rule is located in the Constitution and when the relevant reform was adopted.
