Kim Jong Un Claims 99.93% Victory in North Korea’s ‘Sham’ Election

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has declared a dramatic victory after securing 99.93% of votes in the recent Supreme People’s Assembly election. Official reports cite a near-perfect turnout of 99.99% and approval of all 687 candidates put forward by the ruling Workers’ Party. Critics dismiss the poll as a controlled process with no genuine choice, since voters could only approve or reject a single candidate list. Despite this, state media highlight the result as a mandate for Kim’s plan to modernize the country’s economy and governance. The vote also brought significant personnel changes: over 70% of deputies are new appointees. Key figures like Kim Yo-jong and Jo Yong-won have risen in prominence, while veteran Choe Ryong-hae was sidelined. Observers expect the upcoming session to reaffirm Kim’s leadership and consider constitutional revisions, possibly formalizing South Korea as a hostile state.
