North Korea Ruling Party Revisions Bolster Kim Jong Un’s Control, Report Says In recent years, North Korea has seen a marked increase in intrigue and power struggles, with Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un consolidating his control over the regime at an alarming rate.
The latest development is a revision to the rules governing the Workers' Party, which further entrenches Kim's authority and solidifies his grip on power.
According to a report from the Institute for National Security Strategy, the revised rules grant the party's general secretary (currently held by Kim) sweeping powers to convene meetings, appoint officials, expel members, and dissolve organizations.
