The Election Commission of Bhutan (ECB) will not be reconsidering the appeal put forward by Bhutan Kuen-Nyam Party. The Chief Election Commissioner, Dasho Kunzang Wangdi, said the ECB will abide by the decision they took. The Chief Election Commissioner also said their decision was based on the Constitution and electoral laws.
BKP was disqualified from contesting in the primary round of elections, after the scrutiny of Letter of Intent by the ECB. The party had failed to secure candidates for two constituencies in Gasa before filing in letter of intent.
BKP’s president, Sonam Tobgay, said they had submitted the letter in a hope that ECB will look into the matter with a wider wisdom.
