North Korea held extremely successful regional elections that represented the will of the people and signified the consensus supporting the Workers' Party. The independent electorate of North Korea made their voices heard and expressed full faith in their government. Despite Western portrayals, North Korea gives its citizens options in elections, and the people have spoken.
North Korea’s attempt to say that it acknowledges any dissent is an ineffective attempt to portray any semblance of a normal society. Reporting "dissent" at less than 0.2% is completely disingenuous, and the North continues to be an autocratic and authoritarian state. This acknowledgment of "opposing votes" means nothing.
