Parliamentary elections were held in North Korea on 8 March 2009 to elect the members of the 12th Supreme People's Assembly.[1] They were originally scheduled to be held in August 2008[2] but were postponed for unknown reasons. Observers of North Korea speculated that it was in relation to Kim Jong-il's ill health.[1]
All candidates standing in the elections in North Korea were members of one of the parties comprising the Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland. A single candidate, approved by the North-Korean leadership, ran in each of the 687 districts, thereby guaranteeing a full victory by the Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland, regardless of voter turnout.[3][4] Kim Jong-il, the de facto leader of North Korea and the Chairman of the National Defence Commission, ran for election in Constituency 333.[5]
