Mariano José Nsué Obama, son of a former agriculture minister, aims to govern Equatorial Guinea and rename the country to the Republic of San Rafael Nsué Nchama.
When former U.S. President Barack Obama was three years old, Mariano José Nsué Obama was born in Equatorial Guinea 61 years ago. Their political journeys differ greatly.
Though Barack Obama left office eight years ago, Mariano continues his relentless election campaign with no sign of stopping.
Every morning, Mariano walks hours through Madrid, carrying tape, posters of his face, and a biography of Simón Bolívar.
His rallies see few attendees, but his image is familiar to many who pass through downtown Madrid, due to the numerous posters he personally puts up.
