Kim Jong Un reports landslide victory with 99.93% of votes.
In North Korea, elections once again delivered near-total support for the leadership. The ruling Workers’ Party and its allies secured 99.93% of the vote, Yonhap reported, winning all 687 seats in parliament.
The March 15 vote selected deputies for the 15th Supreme People’s Assembly, which will soon convene in Pyongyang to appoint leadership and discuss possible constitutional changes.
Experts say the reshuffle could help Kim Jong Un sideline older power centers and promote loyal figures. Among those expected to rise is close aide Jo Yong-won, who may take a senior parliamentary role.
