Kim Jong Il`s designated successor elected to assembly: reports

SEOUL, June 29 Kyodo -
North Korean leader Kim Jong Il's son and designated successor Jong Un has been
elected to the country's parliament, according to South Korean news reports
Tuesday.
Jong Un was elected from district 216 to the Supreme People's Assembly in the
elections held in March last year, the reports said, quoting a Western source
familiar with the North.
Following the election, a song titled ''Footsteps'' praising him began to be
sung in elementary schools.
Although the delegate for district 216 has been named as ''Kim Jong,'' since
Kim Jong Il's birthday is Feb. 16, the constituency number 216 is reserved for
special persons, making it likely it is Jong Un.
