Kim Jong-Un’s Sister, Kim Yo-Jong, Makes First Official Appearance As North Korean Dictator Wins 100pc Of Vote In Staged Elections -- News.com.au

THE younger sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has made an official debut of sorts, consolidating the grip on power of the ruling Kim dynasty’s third generation.

Kim Yo-Jong, believed to be 26, accompanied her elder brother to a polling station on Sunday when North Korea held stage-managed elections to its rubber stamp parliament.

Sunday’s outing was different as she was, for the first time, officially listed by her name and as a “senior official’’ attending the voting function along with several top party and army luminaries.

My Comment: I will not be surprised if she takes over the role of her aunt .... an aunt who has not been seen in public since the execution of her husband for treason last year.
