Thimpu: The former Prime Minister of Bhutan, Tshering Tobgay’s party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), walked away with a resounding victory in the recent general elections. They clinched almost a two-thirds majority in the parliamentary seats, adding up to 30 seats under their belt. On the other side, the Bhutan Tendrel Party (BTP) navigated their way through the competitive landscape, securing 17 seats.

The Bhutan Election Commission is preparing to publicize the official results of the latest votes tomorrow. This round of elections has strongly centered upon pressing economic challenges that are calling into question Bhutan’s conventional stance of favoring “Gross National Happiness” above economic expansion. Each of Bhutan’s political parties is committed to a constitutionally enforced principle. It measures their triumph based on the degree of happiness and welfare experienced by their people.
