Pudgy elected as party delegate
2012-04-02
SEOUL -- After a series of party meetings countrywide, North Korea has elected new leader Suet Face Kim Jong-un as a delegate to this month's ruling party conference,
A mere delegate? Someone's entire address book will end up in the camps for this.
It's a formality. He has to be a delegate so that he can be at the Supreme Assembly of the Worker's Party so that they can honor him, etc.
the North's state media said Sunday, in a move seen by outside analysts as another effort to consolidate Kim's grip on power.

The North's ruling Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) plans to hold a special session on April 13 and is expected to appoint the portly young Kim, believed to be in his late 20s, to the post of general secretary of the party. The same post was held by his late father Kim Jong-il.

The fat boy young leader became supreme commander of the North's 1.1 million-strong military shortly after his father's death in December, as he progressively takes more control of the dynastic communist country.

Announcing Kim as a WPK delegate, representatives "praised him as the great statesman who is wisely leading the revolution and construction as a whole with his tested leadership," according to an English-language report by the Korean Central News Agency. Ahead of the upcoming special session, the party meetings represented "the unanimous will and desire of all the party members and other people," the report continued.
