Not one person voted against North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un in a Sunday poll for elections to the Supreme People's Assembly legislature, reports from the country say.
The state run news agency said Kim Jong-Un won the entire vote for his district.
"All the voters of the constituency took part in voting and 100 percent of them voted for Kim Jon-Un," KCNA news said, according to RTE News.
"This is an expression of...people's absolute support and profound trust in Supreme Leader Kim Jon-Un as they single-mindedly remain loyal to him, holding him in high esteem," the state media said, according to RTE.
Kim Jon-Un can now call himself and MP, in addition to already being the Supreme Commander of the armed forces and chairman of the National Defense Commission, RTE reported.
In practice, the Supreme People's Assembly does not have much power. It rarely meets more than once a year, Al Jazeera reported. Another body of power called the Presidium carries out the assembly's duties when it is not in session.
Assembly elections are held once every five years. Voting in elections is mandatory, and there is only one representative from each of the 687 constituencies to choose from. Participants can only select yes or no on the ballot, Al Jazeera reported.
"If you vote no, you need to- very publicly- enter a separate booth, and that is something very few are willing to risk," Al Jazeera's Stefanie Dekker said.
This year's election comes at a time Kim Jon-Un tries to make sure his position as leader is unchallenged. The leader had his uncle, Jang Song Thaek, executed in December 2013 after he was found guilty of "attempting to overthrow the state." Kim Jong-Un's uncle was said to be the second most-powerful man in North Korea.
Kim Jon-Un took over as leader after his father, former leader Kim Jong-Il, died in December 2011. The last assembly elections were held in 2009, when Kim Jong-Il also received 100 percent of the vote, Al Jazeera reported.
