One of Mr Kim's key lieutenants, Choe Ryong Hae, has been given a top appointment and will be in charge of nuclear negotiators.

Kim Jong Un has been re-elected as North Korea's leader in a shakeup of the country's ruling personnel.

The election came at the first session of the Supreme People's Assembly which re-elected Mr Kim because of his"outstanding ideological and theoretical wisdom and experienced and seasoned leadership", state media reported.

Kim Jong Kejri should challenge him next time in North Korea.

Truly the Democratic People's Republic.

Haha

About as democratic as the UK at the minute!

You can’t even criticise this anymore due to the EU doing exactly the same regarding brexit.

Sounds like British politics.

Wait! The opposition have demanded a recount. 💥💥💥! Oh well they tried.

Have Joanna Cherry and Kim Jung Un ever been seen in the same room?

Sound just like the EU

Nice to see the EU has exported its democracy to other places

Did he have theresa_may advising him on how to stay in power when everyone wants you gone ? 🤷‍♂️

Phew! It was a tough contest though. 😁

Well just the same as our so called democracy here in UK : we have exposed the lack of the people’s concerns , government by civil servants and you can’t get rid of the leader : so very similar

110% of the vote and the body of his opponent will never be found?

* re-'elected'

At the celebratory meal after his tremendous victory against all odds, Kim Kong Il was asked what he thought of the Korean meatballs He said they were the dogs bollocks

Never

I’m sure it was a completely fair election with no hint of skullduggery!

Shock, horror, surprise, NOT...

No doubt the opposition were sent to the Gulag.

Danish_Karen Shocker

Has to be the Greatest Upset of modern times.

Heard it was something like 51-49! Phew! Democracy is the winner.

shocker :D

Well done

What a suprise 🙄

Heard he was moonlighting as donaldtusk advisor.

Actually, he lost the popular vote by 3 million fewer votes but won the electoral college. Reached for comment, Putin replied 'that seems coincidental'.

Irony?

Great win for rocket man!!👏

A bit like TreasonMay's polls. Any flavour you want as long as its Remain.

Commiserations to his opponents. They fought a hard nonexistent battle

Hope they have a people’s vote

Is ANYONE surprised?

How many people did he have to shake to death to get re-elected?

Another foregone conclusion.

No argument as to any reruns in that nation!

Acting all Theresa May disgraceful

Re elected - is that what dictators do ?

Much the same as the UK no democracy unless you vote the way the political establishment want you to.

Kim didn't know what he was doing. I demand a revote.

He has the same democratic legitimacy as many members of our own parliament, including our own Prime Minister

I am shocked!

This is a 'man' who has just had 2 women publicly executed and a 3rd jailed for life. Their crime? Fortune tellers. Kim is, in his eyes, on a par with God, so only he tells HAVE to vote for him, there is no other option.

What a surprise!

Great to see democracy working.

Didn’t see that coming!

Kim Jong Un ‘re-elected’. He must have recorded an unassailable 52-48 lead. The North Korean people have spoken for all time!

WhatoddsPaddy ?!!!

Danish_Karen His cup of water has a lid on it.

A different word that “elected” should be used here.

Yeh like the people had a choice !!

Seems free & fair

Did he eat the opposition? 🤔

Did he know what he was voting for?

Monumental victory, he did against the odds.

Almost as surprised as hearing MPs voted to give themselves a pay rise 🙄

WOW! THERE’S a Surprise!!! 😳😳👹😡😡

There were only 2 other candidates Ding Dong Ding and Ping Pong Ball. Wot Yu Meen was in the running but didn't understand the rules. 😊

Bet it was a close thing!

“Re-elected”

Just awaiting Jeremy Corbyn’s congratulations to his political ally.

Was it close to being a hung parliament?

Re-elected without an election

Did Trump congratulate him yet,?

Surely you weren’t expecting a different outcome from the dictator that feeds people to his dogs?

Damn hanging chads!

That’s a shocker

Was there a choice...

Fuck me! He was the underdog too

Who’d have thunk it?

Well stone the crows.

How strange..

‘Kim Jong Un has been re-elected as North Korea's leader in a shakeup of the country's ruling personnel.’ Some votes have little value 😂😂😂

This does surprise me trump thinks he can the same

Elections? In North Korea? Really?

Now that’s a surprise

They should have term limits for dictators.

Thanks to the DPRK electoral college!

Shocker lol

He beat Kim Jong Un into second and third places.

Blimey... That was a turn up for the books! Who'd have thought he'd get re-elected! 😯 🤔🤣

I guess I'm the new Sherlock's Holmes & i think the voting is rigged!

You see, he writes beautiful letters and knows 'democrazy'!

Remain campaign congratulate winner.

“Re-elected” the same way Assad and Putin and the House of Saud were re-elected.... Come on.

Tonights Victory Banquet !! ☺️☺️👍

Another 52% against 48% vote

This is nearly as bigger shock as Farage appearing all over the media today...

Never would have guessed it !

I hope it wasnt 52/48...

I had £1 at 1/100,000,000,000,000.

Ummmm 🤔

Bet that election was close 😂😂

“Re-elected”

It must have been close between him and Kim Jong Un

Re-elected.

We want another vote A People’s Vote

As sky news rightly mocks this vote, it continues to campaign to ignore the result of a pretty big vote of our own. Those that live in glass houses...🤷‍♂️

Trump will say he fought a good campaign and best man won.

Did anyone stand against him? 😂

Whew close one I thought he might lose

Wow how did that happen. The mother of all democracies!!😁😁

‘Shake up’

That seems fair to me

Water is wet and the sun is bright

Just like the EU clowns 🙄

😂😂

Wow that is a surprise!

Well, I did not see this one coming. Now I’ve got to explain to my family why I stuck our life savings on the other guy winning. Inside information my arse. Still, I can claw it back if I remortgage the house to bet heavily against Putin next time around.

how is that a shake up the same wee Rocket man doing the same stuff ... undemocratic, unaccountable and unbelievable 🙋‍♂️

As if we expected anything else

Reelected by who? Oh by himself. 😆

😂

'I demand a recount' BANG!......next..

Kim Jong Un re-elected Is this a joke Oooh Personnel shakeup, as in Loyalty Personnel Purging Yaah, I can understand that!! Trump CNN NYTimes WashingtonPost

No surprise there then.

Wowsers wonder what the odds were if that

This isn’t news!

Huh? Anyone against him?

That was close

Shocking..

Congrats to the man

Bet that was a close one, congrats Kim

yes uhhh, quite the shakeup. the same hereditary dictator family for three generations. 🤣

Didn't see that coming!

Against all the odds!

Congratulations on your re-election success Kimmy Boy 😘

Who was he up against? 😂😂

Our supreme leader

Now this is ground breaking news

Shocker there then.

Did he kill all his rivals then 🤔

About as much of a surprise as democracy ever being implemented in Britain. Both countries are now very similar. Freedom of speech, dead.

He wouldn't have got in if they had proportional representation.

Only shake he has had is an extra large milkshake

What were the bookmakers odds on this, would have loved a wee bet.

Turnout was 100%

Phew. That was close. Carry on Kim. Coldwar_Steve

Who’d have thought 😂

There’s a surprise!😂😂

Shocking. Reminds me of 2032 in the US when our President is in Hospice and making the exact same amount of thoughts & decisions he is today.

Forget North Korea, we've got a leader we can't shift here in the UK, even her own party can't unseat Theresa the Appeaser DemocracyIsOverrated

110% of the vote?

🤘🏼💯📈

Should of had a bet must of been a real underdog

Democracy is a great system.

So surprised....

DPRK_News

Who was his opponent? Haha

I bet it was a close one
