The poster has a portrait of Guevara wearing a military uniform. The man standing on the ladder is wearing a red cap and has a handgun at his waist. The second man is holding the poster and wearing a dark leather jacket. He also has a handgun at his waist. On March 8, 1982 Guevara won the presidential election although electoral fraud was claimed by other parties.
