Kim Jong-Un \\\'re-elected\\\'

Kim Jong-Un was Wednesday "re-elected" as North Korea's leader, state media said, as parliament met in a session closely watched for power shifts in the secretive regime following the shock execution of his once-powerful uncle. The new parliament is expected to endorse personnel changes that observers say are likely to affect a number of officials linked to his "traitor" uncle Jang Song-Thaek, once the North's unofficial number two and Kim's political mentor. Kim was reaffirmed as First Chairman of the powerful National Defence Commission (NDC) by the new parliament, in a show of "absolute support and trust of all service personnel and people in him", the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said, according to AFP.
