                 London 17th  of March 2026
The British Group for  the Study of the Juche Idea and  Korean Friendship Association of the UK issued a joint statement on the successful holding of the elections to the Supreme People's Assembly of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK):
                             

On Sunday the 15th of March the citizens of the DPRK participated in the elections to the 15th Supreme People's Assembly(SPA) . KCNA reported as follows :' All the voters, well aware of the importance of the voting card associated with the highest dignity and honor of their great country, took part in the election with solemn reverence for the DPRK national emblem and flag shining brightly at the polling stations.

According to the election returns, 99.99 percent of all the voters registered on the voter rolls across the country attended the election. 0.0037 percent of the voters failed to take part in the election as they are currently abroad or working in oceans and 0.00003 percent abstained.

99.93 percent of the electors balloted for and 0.07 percent against. As a result, under the Law of the DPRK on the Elections of Deputies to the People's Assemblies at All Levels, 687 workers, farmers, intellectuals, servicepersons and officials were elected to be SPA deputies  .The level of turnout in the election was the highest in the world . For example  it can be Compare to this to the 59 per cent turnout in the UK, 55 per cent in the US and 38 per cent in Switzerland.

  The successful holding of the elections to the 15th SPA are a powerful demonstration of the single hearted unity of the people of the DPRK around respected Marshal KIM JONG UN , the Workers' Party and the Juche idea. Such unity is totally unparalleled anywhere else in the world . Korean people say that single-hearted unity is more powerful than an atomic bomb.

    The DPRK does indeed have a different system to bourgeois democracy in the West (which is not really democracy) , it people's democracy , socialist democracy and proletarian democracy . 

In the DPRK candidates are chosen by mass meetings of electors first , rather than by a small clique of people putting forward a candidate. No one who does not have the support of the people can forward as a candidate , it is as simple as that . On election day voters approve the candidates .

The mainstream media assert 'there is no choice' in DPRK elections but what real choice is there in many capitalist countries where often all the parties support capitalism ? Really elections in capitalist countries are about deciding who is going to fiddle their expenses and vote themselves a pay rise . In the UK Members of Parliament are paid  £93,904 per year plus expenses . In People's Korea is no class of professional 

   In People' Korea ordinary workers including street cleaners are elected to the SPA , something that would be almost impossible in a capitalist society . In the UK only one or two members out of 650 members of the UK parliament are of working class origin , this is less than 0.5 per cent . In the DPRK in 1990 ,  47 per cent of deputies to the SPA were workers and farmers. 20 per cent of deputies to the SPA are women .

  DPRK elections are real people's democracy in action ! Long live people's power in the DPRK !
