Kim Jong Un wins 2026 North Korean parliamentary election with 156% of the vote

Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un has secured a decisive and mathematically ambitious victory in North Korea’s latest parliamentary elections, winning an impressive 156% of the national vote.

State media hailed the result as “a powerful endorsement of the people’s unwavering enthusiasm,” noting that turnout reached 100%, with several citizens thoughtfully voting more than once to ensure their appreciation was fully registered.

Officials were quick to dismiss suggestions of irregularities, explaining that the additional 56% simply reflects “overflow support” from voters whose admiration could not be contained within conventional numerical limits.

“It’s a sign of a healthy democracy,” said one election supervisor, standing beside a ballot box that appeared to be saluting. “When the people love their leader this much, numbers naturally expand to accommodate it.”

Voters across the country reported a smooth and efficient process, with many praising the convenience of having their ballots pre-completed. “It really takes the stress out of decision-making,” said one citizen, smiling in a way that suggested he had been practising.

Meanwhile, analysts noted that opposition candidates once again performed strongly by not existing, avoiding the divisiveness often seen in multiparty systems.

“It’s refreshing,” said a local political expert. “No arguments, no mudslinging, no negative campaigning, just unanimous agreement and the occasional spontaneous standing ovation.”

The Supreme People’s Assembly is expected to convene shortly to confirm the result, though insiders say preparations have already been made, including a unanimous round of applause scheduled for several hours.

At press time, authorities confirmed that next year’s election could see further growth in voter enthusiasm, with early projections suggesting Kim may achieve up to 200% of the vote, depending on how grateful the nation feels.

Across the Atlantic, Trump campaign officials have watched with envy, before making a call to see if the North Koreans could help them get ‘those sorts of numbers in November’.
