What Happened Voters in the small Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan ushered a new party into power during the country's third elections since transitioning to democracy a decade ago. On Oct. 18, the Druk Nyamrup Tshogpa (DNT), a center-left party founded in 2013, won 30 of the 47 seats in Bhutan's National Assembly. The Druk Phuensum Tshogpa (DPT) captured the remaining 17 seats and will maintain its role as the opposition party. DNT leader Lotay Tshering, a urologist, will serve as the South Asian country's next prime minister after running a successful campaign focused on unemployment, health care and inequality. Seventy-one percent of the electorate turned out to vote during the second round of elections.
