He also said they will look forward to cooperate positively with DPT within the constructive framework of checks and balances and they do believe democracy will triumph and benefit the people.
Answering to media’s question on why PDP won, the president said it is all about democratic choice that PDP won.
“The obvious answer is that people had a choice we had five parties, little down to four in the primary round and finally people chose who Opposition Party would be who Ruling Party would be. So it’s a about democratic choice. So that answer should be that people have exercised the choice. And that is why we won.”
The PDP president also expressed the party’s gratitude to His Majesty the King for steadfast support for the democratic process and congratulated the Election Commission of Bhutan for conducting the elections in a free and fair manner.
