The Guinean Obama Campaigning for Presidency
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.
Contrasting Political Paths
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.
- As Barack Obama rose to lead the Democratic Party, Mariano arrived in Spain with nothing.
- In 2009, while Barack became U.S. president and drew huge crowds, Mariano held one of his largest rallies in central Madrid.
Persistent Campaign Efforts
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.
Daily Routine
- Mariano carries a roll of tape and stacks of his printed posters.
- He spends hours pasting these around the city streets.
- His backpack contains a biography of Simón Bolívar, influencing his vision.
