Alvaro Uribe loyalists are studying the possibility of amending the Colombian constitution to allow the former president to be re-elected for a third term.

The Uribe loyalist revived the idea of holding a referendum calling on Congress to change the country's constitution and allow Uribe's second re-election.

Colombia's Constitutional Court in 2010 declared the possibility of Uribe's reelection unconstitutional after finding irregularities in the electoral process in Congress and in the financing of the initiative.
Velez' statement follows that of former Peace Commissioner Luis Carlos Restrepo, who fled the country before being charged for fraud over his alleged role in faking a FARC demobilization, who said Uribe loyalists should turn against the government of current President Juan Manuel Santos and work towards the 2014 re-election of Uribe.
