Encyclopaedia Britannica states that the Korean Workers’ Party (KWP) is a North Korean political party founded in 1946 in the early years of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea)—the state’s primary agency of political power. The KWP controls the electoral system and draws up lists of approved candidates. The KWP continued to hold authority over mass union of various civilian groups such as farmers, youths, and workers in the country.
