In North Korea’s 2026 parliamentary elections, Kim Jong Un achieved a landslide win as the Workers’ Party of Korea and its coalition partners reportedly captured 99.93 per cent of the ballot and every available seat, according to Yonhap News Agency, which cited state media reports.
With a reported turnout of 99.99 per cent, the polls were conducted on March 15 to select deputies for the 15th Supreme People’s Assembly.
Following the results, Pyongyang is scheduled to hold the inaugural session of the new assembly to decide on the election of state leadership and deliberate on a major revision to the constitution.
Aren’t the electors middle ranked party members? This is like saying all of the electoral college reps for president voted correctly. But of course the party acts as one due to deliberation and democratic centralism, the point is to be cohesive and put your best foot forward and not infight openly to the public and make their opinion of you worse for no gain. All of the talks are usually internal to the party, vote percentage is nonsensical. What people vote for in this society are the lower level reps whom they can talk with personally, sometimes these lower reps are at ratios of 100:1 in best instances, so it’s very easy to voice anger and get help with issues and demand they change their votes for the higher offices. It also becomes easier to unseat them and take the spot yourself.
It’s like the DNC where everyone votes for Kamala Harris without a primary.
It’s nothing like that. Fucking sad…
