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…
Directly from KCNA here: http://www.kcna.kp/en/article/q/64e900f5bd0353837ca02d7babcce3adf0e6857b3bc915d1758c332d4b2dcdc2e90b7d9d2886bc48b3cc61aad7ed43cc.kcmsf
According to the election returns, 99.99 percent of all the voters registered on the voter rolls across the country attended the election. 0.0037 percent of the voters failed to take part in the election as they are currently abroad or working in oceans and 0.00003 percent abstained.
99.93 percent of the electors balloted for and 0.07 percent against. As a result, under the Law of the DPRK on the Elections of Deputies to the People’s Assemblies at All Levels, 687 workers, farmers, intellectuals, servicepersons and officials were elected to be SPA deputies.
So big question who voted against him
Some poor folks who’s got executed for disobeying the supreme leader’s tyranny.
-Some highly opinionated Western media outlets.
Kim Jong Un, he’s tired, wants to retire, but somehow everyone keeps voting for him.
Suicide by poll?
I suppose it’s honorable that they still bothered to count the victim’s vote.
I’m old now, but I wonder if and when he’s gonna enter the “find out” stage. Maybe he just dies and never faces consequences.
Haven’t you been satisfied with all the other bucket list bloodletting you’ve gotten??
No, but my burger needs more ketchup.
I can’t tell if the replies to this comment are real or not
What consequences? What did he do?
So I take it you enjoyed watching them torture Gaddafi to death?
He did find out, having nukes was the sigle most peaceful and benevolent policy to have. saved entire north from another extermination campain like in the 50s
Consequences for what?
not letting the US bomb his country, i guess
Unforgivable
