Papers Call for Turning out in Election as One for Stronger Revolutionary Power

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, July 29 (KCNA) -- The nation goes to polls today to elect deputies to the provincial (municipality directly under central authority), city (district) and county people's assemblies of the DPRK.
    Papers today dedicate editorials to the Election Day.
    Rodong Sinmun says the election of deputies to the local power bodies today is of great significance in reinforcing the people's power bodies, enhancing their functions and role in every way and bringing about fresh victory and change in the building of a great prosperous powerful socialist nation as required by the revolutionary development at a new phase.
    It goes on:
    President Kim Il Sung laid down the Juche-oriented line of building revolutionary power in his early years and provided the historical roots of the people's government in the crucible of the anti-Japanese struggle. On this basis he founded a genuine people's government in the liberated country, setting an example of the times in solving the issue of power.
    The history of the development of the people's power in the DPRK is associated with the energetic leadership of Kim Jong Il who has successfully carried forward the idea of building the Juche-oriented power and the exploits of the President.
    Kim Jong Il has wisely led the work of the people's power of the DPRK, ensuring that it steadily enhanced its function and role as the representative of sovereign rights of the popular masses, organizer of creative ability and activities and the master responsible for people's living as required by the cause of modeling the whole society on the Juche idea. He made sure that the Socialist Constitution was revised and supplemented to be the Kim Il Sung Constitution, thereby rounding off the state machinery in the DPRK as required by the era of Songun. This constitutes an immortal historical exploit performed by Kim Jong Il for accomplishing the cause of Juche and achieving the prosperity of the country.
    The election today marks an important occasion in fully demonstrating the might of single-minded unity of all the people around Kim Jong Il and their steadfast faith and will to firmly defend and glorify man-centered Korean socialism to the last.
    The Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il provides a sure guarantee for victory in strengthening the people's power and building a great prosperous powerful nation. All the people should successfully ensure the election and thus fully demonstrate before the world their strong faith and ardent enthusiasm to uphold the Songun politics of Kim Jong Il.
    Minju Joson calls upon the people to take part in the election with the high awareness as citizens in order to reinforce the revolutionary power of the DPRK as firm as a rock.
