N. Korean leader enjoys 100% 'poll' win

Seoul (AFP) — North Korea's state media confirmed Monday what was never in doubt -- a 100 percent, no-abstention poll victory for leader Kim Jong-Un in the country's stage-managed parliamentary election.

Every single vote cast on Sunday in Kim's constituency was for the man who can now add MP to his many titles that include Supreme Commander of the armed forces and chairman of the powerful National Defence Commission.

"All the voters of the constituency took part in voting and 100 percent of them voted for Kim Jong-Un," the North's official KCNA news agency said.

"This is an expression of ... people's absolute support and profound trust in supreme leader Kim Jong-Un as they single-mindedly remain loyal to him, holding him in high esteem," it said.

The vote offered an opportunity for the younger sister of Kim Jong-Un to make official debut of sorts, consolidating the grip on power of the ruling Kim dynasty's third generation.

Kim Yo-Jong, believed to be 26, accompanied her elder brother to a polling station on Sunday.

It was not her first appearance. She was shown on state television in 2011, tearfully standing next to Kim Jong-Un as they attended the funeral of their father and former ruler Kim Jong-Il.

Since then she has occasionally been seen accompanying her brother on his "field guidance trips".

Sunday's outing was different as she was, for the first time, officially listed by her name and as a "senior official" attending the voting function along with several top party and army luminaries.

Sunday's ballot was an election in name only.

Each of the nearly 700 constituencies had only one state-sanctioned candidate, ensuring a foregone conclusion in every case.

Voting was mandatory and state media said all registered voters across the country -- except for those based overseas -- took part.

Elections to the Supreme People's Assembly (SPA) are held every five years, and this was the first under Kim's leadership. He took over the reins of power on the death of his father, Kim Jong-Il, in December 2011.

Kim stood as an uncontested candidate in constituency number 111, Mount Paektu.

Koreans have traditionally attributed divine status to Mount Paektu and, according to the North's official propaganda, Kim Jong-Il was born on its slopes.

The KCNA report hailed Kim as the worthy successor to his father and his grandfather -- North Korea's founder leader -- Kim Il-Sung, saying he had "remarkably increased the defence power" of the nation.

The SPA only meets once or twice a year, mostly for a day-long session, to rubber-stamp budgets or other decisions made by the powerful ruling Workers' Party.

Congratulations to Jong-Un. If only people in Thailand and other polarised and politically divided nations could stand so unanimously behind one single leader...

[laurentbkk]

are you surprise of the result ? when you have the choice between the pest and the cholera the choice is hard ... the only thing that dictator will never have is their freedom of thoughts .....well if they still can .. feel sorry for the people .

[Bkungbank]

Brain wash by local tv and media control of the people of North Korea that's why counted all voted except oversea because outside North Korea the information are not bias to the leader . Dare not protest as anyone who go against their leader are consider traitor andsend to prison camp where some might feed to hungry dogs, under certain pressure the poeple of North Korea have to accept Kim and even Obama cannot received 100% votes. The fund generate to defence by build nuke and certain drough season the people may suffer famine and the death of course never reported on local tv. If the locals know what their leader have done not even 5% will voted for him.

[Costas2008]

I'm surprised he didn't get 200%.

Hope he reprimands his officials.

[pitrevie]

Reminds you of the old USSR joke, last night someone broke into the Kremlin and stole next year's election results.

[Chicog]

I remember a joke when Carter, Thatcher and Marcos were on a plane, and the pilots told them it was going down.

There was only one parachute, so after arguing over who should have it, Marcos suggested they vote on it, and he won by four votes.

[chooka]

When you only have two choices, a pack of starving dogs or dear leader the decision is quite simple who to vote for.

One thing we do not give the North Korean people credit for is they do know the type of Leader Kim is They know he is a Criminal and dictator. However they do not have an outlet to talk about their dissatisfaction as does everyone in Thailand have.

In N Korea if you disagree with the government or its Leader they shoot you . So for now you will not hear of dissension. But just like when the Soviet Union fell apart so will N. Korea

You cannot subdue the people for eternity Their day will come That I am convinced of

Elections have consequences!

[Maroon Watcher]

He could have at least had someone to pretend to go up against him....

[Maroon Watcher]

He should release a record -

"Im a perfect Dictator man"

You have to love him, his grandfather, Father and now the new Dear leader have all got 100% support. The guy must be admired to achieve this, three generations of 100% support is outstanding. Try doing that in any other country, will never happen will always be some idiot who wants to vote for someone else. Feed him to the dogs I say and it better be good dog droppings or I will feed the dogs to the pigs.

Much as the laughter is warranted this guy is a serious threat given his youth...position...and seeming nonchalance for casual violence and murder.

Not very 21sy century....sadly I suspect he will be around for a long time.

He could have at least had someone to pretend to go up against him....

There were some who did not vote, but they are not counted as they were dog food by the time the polls closed.

We now see all too clearly how elections can only be a pretence of democracy.

And not really be democracy at all.

He cant do anything. Hes now pissed of the Chinese. His only allies. He cant feed his children of the revolution. He NK will fall within 10 yrs. Nuclear. He cant load it onto a missile.

Congratulations to Khun Kim. Now that's what I call a majority.

Now he just needs to pack this basketball malarkey in (they're never going to reduce the height of the nets by a metre!) and get to work on his golf game. If talent runs in the family he'll be the best in world in no time, just like his dad, who once shot a world record 38 under par round of 34.

Asian democratic leaders....... if you can't trust them who can you trust?
