PYONGYANG: North Koreans went to the polls Sunday for an election in which there could be only one winner.
Leader Kim Jong Un’s ruling Workers’ Party has an iron grip on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, as the isolated, nuclear-armed country is officially known.
Every five years it holds an election for the rubber stamp legislature, known as the Supreme People’s Assembly.
The exercise has all the trappings of votes elsewhere, from electoral rolls to sealed ballot boxes to scrutineers for the count.
