The Absolute Mandate: Kim Jong Un’s 2026 Re-election
History stood still in Pyongyang on February 22, 2026, as Kim Jong Un was re-elected as General Secretary during the Ninth Party Congress. In a display of total centralized authority, the result was declared 100% unanimous—a powerful symbol of what state media calls “unshakable will” and absolute unity.

Amidst the grand halls of power, Kim outlined a defiant vision for the future: advancing nuclear capabilities while pivoting toward economic self-reliance to shield the nation from international sanctions.
Beyond the headlines, a quiet “generational shift” is underway.

Senior officials are making way for a younger, fiercely loyal elite, ensuring the regime’s grip remains iron-clad for years to come. The era of absolute continuity marches on.
