Nicaraguan president Daniel Ortega is seeking reelection in November. This will be his seventh presidential campaign as leader of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN), once an internationally celebrated revolutionary movement and now the country’s dominant political party.

But this time, Ortega’s wildly popular wife Rosario Murillo will run alongside him — earlier this month, she announced her candidacy for vice president, intensifying the accusations of dynasty-building that have dogged Ortega since his administration began in 2007.

This being an election year, Ortega’s face appears everywhere in Nicaragua — on campaign posters bearing the revamped Sandinista motto (“Socialist, Christian, In Solidarity”); on billboards towering over Managua’s busy traffic circles; even on certain government offices — like the Ministry of the Household Economy (MEFCCA) — that have abandoned any pretense of nonpartisanship and begun decorating their facades with images of the first couple, often captioned with the slogan “Onwards to more victories.”
