Under the thin veneer of supposedly free elections, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un cast his ballot Sunday in nationwide polls to choose new deputies to the country's local assemblies, state-run media has reported.
The official Korean Central News Agency said Monday that Kim had visited a polling station in South Hamgyong Province a day earlier "to take part in the election of deputies to the provincial, city and county people's assemblies."
"Supreme Leader of the Party, state and armed forces Kim Jong Un received ballots from the chairperson of the sub-constituency committee and voted for Ju Song Ho and Jong Song Sik who are candidates for deputies," KCNA reported.
