The notion of being "elected" when you have a gun pointed at you at the ballot casting is silly.
You always know the elections are shams when the communist candidate gets 95% of the vote.
technically North Korea has had elected leaders since the founding. They have elections in North Korea. Doesn’t make me convinced North Korea isn’t a communist dictatorship.
