North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has been re-elected with 99.93 percent of the votes in the Supreme People’s Assembly election held on March 15. His ruling Workers’ Party of Korea and allied groups secured an overwhelming victory, according to state media reports. The election featured only one approved candidate per seat, giving voters the option to either accept or reject the nominee.
The 0.07 percent of votes cast against the official candidates drew notable attention, as it was seen as a rare expression of dissent. The state news agency KCNA acknowledged that no opposition candidates participated in the election. This marks the first time since 1957 that state media publicly admitted the existence of “no” votes. A total of 687 members, including workers, farmers, intellectuals, and military representatives, were elected.
Kim Jong-un has ruled North Korea since 2011 following the death of his father, Kim Jong-il. His authority was further consolidated in 2019 through constitutional amendments, granting him full control over the country’s military and government institutions.
