Only graduates were permitted to cast their votes in polls
Last week when voting for the 47-member National Assembly took place, the results took everyone by surprise, candidates and the public included. The Bhutan Peace and Prosperity Party (dpt) won a whopping 45 of the 47 seats, while its rival Peoples’ Democratic Party (pdp) floundered in the polls, winning only two seats. For a state holding its first ever election, the results could not have been more dramatic or lopsided.
"These elections are a farce. They were staged when a movement of true democracy confronted the monarch of Bhutan,” says Deki Yangzom, a pro-democracy activist, working from exile in Nepal, adding: “The king admitted that but for this movement for democracy, he would have continued as monarch.”
