The percentage collected by Kim Jong Un
North Koreans are celebrating the historic turnout of 99,99% in Sunday's election.
As for the percentage of their leader, Kim Jong Un, it will be close to 100%, as announced by the state media of North Korea.
The turnout was even better than in 2014 when 99,97% of voters went to the polls. Only North Koreans working abroad did not vote Sunday, the state-run KCNA news agency reported.
"All the voters took part in the elections to strengthen the power of our people as a pillar of power," the KCNA news agency quoted a report by the Central Election Commission as saying.
The North Koreans went to the polls for the parliamentary elections, from which, however, it is predicted who will be the winner.
Leader Kim Jong Un's ruling Labor Party has sole control of power in isolated North Korea, but elections are held every five years to elect members of the Supreme People's Assembly, the parliament of the Democratic People's Republic of South Korea.
For the elections, the country is divided into constituencies. In the previous election, in 2014, there were 686 and Kim himself was a candidate for Mount Paektu, a volcano that dominates the Sino-Korean border and is considered a sacred place of worship for Koreans. Kim had received - what else? - 100% of the votes then.
