The 조선로동당 (Workers' Party of Korea) is the ruling political party in North Korea. Founded in 1945, it plays a central role in the country's governance and ideology, promoting Marxism-Leninism and Juche, a self-reliant socialist philosophy. The party's leadership is closely associated with the Kim family, particularly Kim Il-sung, the country's founding leader. The party's structure includes various organizations and committees that oversee different aspects of society, including the military and economy. It holds a monopoly on political power, meaning no other parties are allowed to operate. The 조선로동당 organizes events, rallies, and campaigns to maintain its influence and promote loyalty among the population.
