The People's Democratic Party (PDP) received the highest number of votes in the preliminary round of the election held on Thursday, followed by the Bhutan Tendrel Party (BTP), the ECB said. Druk Nyamrup Tshogpa (DNT), the party headed by outgoing Prime Minister Lotay Tshering, finished fourth, the ECB vote counts showed. PDP, headed by former Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay, is a liberal group founded in 2007, which had formed the government in Bhutan between 2013 and 2018. They also share similar views on several other issues such as the development of hydroelectric power, agricultural growth, and unemployment. Majority-Buddhist Bhutan, which is roughly the size of Switzerland, has deep economic and trade relations with its southern neighbour, India, which is its biggest donor.

Zilele de ploi torenţiale au făcut ravagii în mai multe zone din Nepal şi Bhutan, declanşând inundaţii şi alunecări de teren care au lăsat în urma lor cel puţin 17 morţi, informează DPA. Trei cadavre au fost recuperate în districtul Sindhupalchok, lovit de inundaţii marţi seara, a precizat Baburam Khanal, un administrator local. "Doi decedaţi erau chinezi, iar a treia victimă este un indian care lucra în proiecte locale", a declarat Khanal pentru DPA. În Bhutan, 10 persoane au murit luate de ape la începutul acestei săptămâni în Laya (nord-vest) în timp ce culegeau cordyceps, o ciupercă de munte, folosită adesea în medicina tradiţională. Marţi, într-o postare pe Facebook, premierul Bhutanului, Lotay Tshering, a prezentat condoleanţe familiilor victimelor, indicând că o echipă de salvare a fost trimisă în zona afectată de intemperii.
