Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says this in an editorial.

The DPRK power is a powerful political weapon of the revolution and construction and a true servant for the people, the editorial notes, and goes on:

The history of the development of the DPRK power is shining as a glorious path along which it has creditably performed its mission as a representative of independent rights of the popular masses, an organizer of creative ability and activities and the master responsible for the livelihood of the people, while setting an example in the era of building the socialist power under the wise leadership of the great leader and the great party.

The forthcoming elections are an important political work to cement the people's power as required by the developing reality.

The militant might of the Workers' Party of Korea has been remarkably augmented with the historic Conference of the Party as a momentum and a general onward movement for building a thriving nation is now brisk under the leadership of the party.

When the local power organs are made up of representatives of the people and their function and role are increased considerably through the elections, a revolutionary turn will be effected in implementing the Party's line and policies and the victory of building a thriving nation will come earlier than expected.

Everybody should participate in the elections with high political enthusiasm and thus demonstrate once again the intense loyalty of the Korean people to greet the centenary of birth of President Kim Il Sung as the greatest revolutionary holiday of the nation.
