Kim Jong Un Near-Perfect Win In North Korea Polls With 99.93% Mandate

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.

Apparently the adult population of North Korea is 20.6M. They had a turnout of 99.99% and 0.07% didn’t vote for him. That’s about 14,410 people. Maybe he disparaged a small town. He’s got some work to do!

I suppose it’s honorable that they still bothered to count the victim’s vote.

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.

How not? How dumb are you when you say “everyone voted for” but then try to make it sound like Kamala was installed without votes????

How can you mistake a primary for a full electoral vote? How fucking dense do you have to be to consider a democratic primary the same as Stalinist BS?

You are basically telling the world that you are too dense to tell the difference between bureaucracy and your own icky feelings…

I can't tell what the replies to this comment are saying. What correlation does supporting Gaddafi's murder have with not liking Kim Jong Un?

There's an easy way to determine that: Look at your watch, then look away, then look at your watch again.

If it shows the same time, they're real. If it shows a completely different time or total gibberish, they're not real and you're dreaming.
