100% of the vote? Suck it Obamorz :sunglasses:Kim Jong-il, the North Korean leader, has been re-elected to the country's parliament in elections that have been closely watched for hints as to his possible successor.
In an unsurprising result Kim was re-elected by voters in Constituency 333 with 100 per cent support, the official KCNA news agency said on Monday.
The report said voters renewed their "unshakable determination to devotedly safeguard" the North Korean leader.
The national elections, which took place on Sunday, have been closely watched by outside observers amid speculation it may provide some indications as to Kim's potential successor.
A full list of legislators to the rubber stamp 12th Supreme People's Assembly is expected to be released later on Monday.
The body meets only a few times a year to approve bills already vetted by the ruling party Workers' Party.
Assembly elections are largely a formality since candidates are widely believed to be hand-picked by Kim and top party officials. Only one candidate runs in each constituency and defectors say opposing a candidate is unthinkable.
