Now the mad dictator's son as leader of the communist country has nominated. The government has already swore an oath of loyalty to Kim, then South Korea. Speculation about a change of power there was a long time.
When he is officially completed, however, is open. Since summer 2008, when Kim Jong Il had a stroke, compressed, the evidence that the dictator would appoint one of his three sons to succeed him.
The ruler had not been long and fueled speculation about his health.
Most recently he took part in the middle of April as head of the inaugural sitting of Parliament, where he settled as chairman of the National Defense Committee and thus determine the most powerful man in the isolated communist state.
