A total of 27,390 candidates have been elected as regional deputies in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), the country's election committee said Monday.
"27,390 officials, workers, farmers and intellectuals were elected deputies...," said a statement issued by the DPRK Central Election Guidance Committee.
The results came one day after the elections in which there was a turnout of 99.82 percent, it said.
"The election of deputies to the local power bodies marked an important occasion in reinforcing as firm as a rock the revolutionary government of the DPRK led by Kim Jong Il and further increasing the function and role of the people's power," the statement said.
The DPRK's local elections are held every four years.
