Kim Jong Un Sweeps North Korea Polls with 99.93% Mandate
•Kim Jong Un's Workers' Party of Korea and allies secured 99.93% of votes and all seats in the 2026 parliamentary elections.
•The elections for the 15th Supreme People’s Assembly saw a 99.99% voter turnout.
•The new assembly will decide on state leadership, revise the constitution, and potentially codify a hostile stance towards South Korea.
•A significant reshuffle saw over 70% of deputies replaced, consolidating Kim's authority; his sister Kim Yo-jong and Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui are among new deputies.
•State media reported 0.07% voted against candidates, a move seen as a propaganda tactic despite elections being largely a formality.
