Printable version Bhutan holds fake national poll By Sanjoy Majumder BBC News, Delhi Bhutan's King Jigme Khesar King Jigme Khesar took the throne in 2006 after his father abdicated The tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan is taking a big step to end 100 years of monarchy by staging a mock election. The idea is to familiarise the people of this isolated nation with the concept of parliamentary democracy before next year's national election. In 1998 the king gave up absolute power and in 2006 he abdicated to his son. But many still hold much affection for the former king, who once said that Bhutan's priority was not its GDP but its gross national happiness. Student candidates For the nearly 700,000 people who make up the breathtakingly beautiful kingdom of Bhutan, it is a chance to experience what democracy might feel like. Voters spread across this landlocked country high up in the Himalayan mountains, will trudge to their nearest polling station on Saturday to choose from one of four mock parties - the Blue, Red, Green or Yellow Thunder Dragon Party, named after the country's national symbol. The two most successful parties will compete in a run-off in May, in which high-school students will act as candidates. Some 10,000 officials are involved in the logistics, with special observers from neighbouring India, which has helped train them. It is all part of a process unleashed by the former king, Jigme Wangchuk, who has pledged to turn Bhutan into a parliamentary democracy by 2008. But many Bhutanese are looking at their South Asian neighbours, many of whom are in political turmoil, and wondering if it is really such a good thing.
