Tibetans Vote From 26 Nations To Elect Next Sikyong (President)

Around 1.3 lakh Tibetans living in 26 countries on April 11 casted their vote to elect Sikyong (President) and 45 members for the Dharamshala-based parliament-in-exile. The eligible nominees included Pempa Tsering and Aukatsang Kelsang Dorjee for the post of Sikyong. While the results are slated to be declared on May 14, the elected representative would be responsible to provide democratic governance to exiled Tibetans.
