SEOUL - NORTH Korean leader Kim Jong Il has nominated his third son as successor and informed the ruling communist party leadership of his choice, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported on Thursday.

The nomination of Mr Kim Jong Un, 24, was totally unexpected even among party leaders, Yonhap said, quoting 'well-informed intelligence sources'. The reclusive leader 'delivered a directive that he has named Jong Un as his successor to the leadership of the Workers' Party around Jan 8', a source was quoted as saying.

Analysts have said previously Jong Un is not in the running.

'There are different theories but none has been confirmed,' a spokesman for Seoul's National Intelligence Service said.

The succession is a subject of intense interest, notably after South Korean and US officials said Mr Kim Jong Il, 66, suffered a stroke in mid-August.

He is said to be recovering well and still in control of his nuclear-armed but impoverished nation.
