Nicaragua's President Daniel Ortega and his wife Rosario Murillo show their marked thumbs after voting at a polling station near a his home in Managua, Nicaragua, Sunday.
(CNN)Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has clinched a fourth term in office with a landslide victory -- this time with his wife as his running mate.

With more than 98% of the ballots from Sunday's election counted, Ortega had garnered 72.5% of the vote, state media said Monday.
First lady Rosario Murillo has long been the country's unofficial co-president, effectively running the government, analysts of Nicaraguan politics say.
In August, when the couple made their ticket official, Ortega said she was the best running mate he could choose: "Who better (to be vice president) than my companera, who has so far done an efficient and effective job with much discipline and sacrifice."
The move by Ortega, a socialist and former guerrilla leader, is not without controversy, as critics have accused the couple of skirting laws while building a political dynasty.
Nicaragua's Constitution bars candidates who are relatives of the current President from running, however the Supreme Court of Nicaragua has said there was no legal impediment for the Ortega-Murillo ticket.
"It makes no sense," said Eliseo Nunez, a former opposition lawmaker, maintaining that the ticket clearly violates the Constitution. "It's like saying: My brother-in-law can't run because he is related to my wife, but my wife can run."
Adding Murillo to the ticket is a way for Ortega, who will be 71 in a week, to ensure a political succession plan, said Michael Allison, a political scientist with the University of Scranton.
"Daniel and Rosario have been consolidating power for over 10 years," he said.
Despite cries of foul by opposition, Ortega has strong support in the country, Allison added.
