Choe Ryong-hae
In the first session of the 14th convocation Ri Yong Mu and O Kuk Ryol retained their positions as vice-chairmen of the National Defense Commission, But Kim Yong Chun lost his vice-chairman position to Choe Ryong-hae. Minister of the People's Armed Forces Jang Jong-nam, as well as Jo Chun-ryong were newly elected to the NDC while Choe Pu-il, Kim Won-hong and Pak To-chun retained their membership. In the Cabinet of North Korea, the body which manages the administrative-economic apparatus, Premier of North Korea Pak Pong-ju was once again reelected to the position, which he held from 2003 to 2007 and again since 2013. The positions in the cabinet remain primarily unchanged, and the premier, who manages the cabinet, has remained the same. Additionally, Kim Jong Un's younger sister, Kim Yo Jung, has been the first time she has been named in public, likely showing a rise in her own political power. She was identified as state comrade, and senior official. She was shown with Kim Jong Un as he was making his way to vote at Kim Il Sung University. The most significant change in the cabinet was the replacement of Pak Ui-chun as Foreign Minister by Ri Su-yong.
