Bhutan and Democracy

 

"New Times, New Ideas"

Druk Nyamrup Tshogpa is a people-centric political party. We believe in building HOPE together, through positive CHANGE, in the early stages of our democracy. We believe no Bhutanese should be left behind because ours is a small society of just 700,000 people.

One of the greatest gifts our Kings gave to Bhutan is democracy. We share the great privilege and responsibility of carrying their legacy into the future by creating inclusive democratic platform that our people love and dreaming up new opportunities for our people. New Times, New Ideas!

In Nyamrup spirit, let’s stand together and stand up for the love of our country.

Druk Nyamrup Tshogpa will promote social democracy, based on the three principles of solidarity, freedom and justice.

On solidarity, the party will work to provide every Bhutanese with equal opportunities for living a dignified life.

“The party will always be sensitive to the needs of the people, and is in complete solidarity with those, who are poor, marginalised and vulnerable,” he said.

On justice, the party supported social, political and economic justice, while also pledging zero tolerance to corruption, and demands full accountability at all levels.

On freedom, the party was committed to working towards an enabling environment, where every Bhutanese would have the right to freedom, and could pursue individual goals and free enterprises within the law.

“In short, it means looking after people’s welfare, and promoting democracy and marrying the two,” he said, adding the approach was timely.

“While opportunities are provided, and free competition encouraged through democratic process, there’s a need to give a push to those disadvantaged,” he said. “If we don’t put this into practice now, the social disparity will widen and become a major problem.”
