Election fever in Bhutan
The National Council (Upper House) election is gearing up. Finalising the candidates, the country has now completely into the mission to host the election on April 23. While the first election in 2007 had observed some hesitation from public, the second parliamentary election has attracted much interest and enthusiasm among the candidates. This time, National Council elections will be completed in one round unlike 2007.
The candidates are in field asking for votes. Election offices in districts have well organized a common forum for the candidates to present their plans for future. While this is not always possible for people to attend, who live in far-flung villages, election fever has penetrated through the remote villages.
