im Jong-un and 686 other candidates approved by the government were voted into the North Korean parliament in Sunday’s election, state media announced on Tuesday, with every nominee returned with 100 percent of the vote in their constituencies.
Mr Kim was returned to the 14th Supreme People’s Assembly from his Mount Paektu constituency and will be joined in the nation’s parliament by his sister, Kim Yo-jong, the Korean Central News Agency reported.
Fully 99.99 percent of all eligible voters had exercised their democratic right to select their leaders, KCNA reported, with citizens serving at sea excused the obligation to vote.
The results of the election were never in any doubt - each ballot paper only has one name and anyone who wants to vote against the approved candidate has to enter a special booth and put a cross through the name - but defectors say that Mr Kim’s standing has been damaged by his failure to win concessions on sanctions on the regime at the recent Hanoi summit with President Donald Trump.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if he emigrated to the UK and entered the world of politics.
He'd definitely hold his own in a public debate with Nigel Farage and Jacob Rees-Mogg. |
