Oh! This was unexpected. Who came second? What was their program like? Is a general secretary of KCNA allowed to have a second term?

It was a close race, from what I can tell.

All official reporting indicates a well mannered race between candidates.
The correct and best leader has been chosen fairly by all citizens.
And all opponents now also agree, as do their voters.

Citizens don't vote for prime ministers. Politicians do.

Who votes for the Supreme Leaders of North Korea? The prime minister?
