2013, the 13th of July was another shock.
I was eager, thinking when the 13th of
July 2013 will come but at the same time I was worried whether the faithful and
loyal party will come to the power. In the due course of the time, the day of
what I was actually waiting was come. The night of the day was again another
worry for me.
The two parties that had qualify for primary round
was Druk Phunsum Tshokpa (DPT) and People Democratic Party (PDP).The result of
NA was going to declared in the evening of the day. The memory of 2008 election
result for NA was fresh in my mind. I was having the doubt of same victory as
that of 2008. The 2008 election for NA was in fact a landslide victory to DPT
by PDP and making a world smallest opposing party. Of the 47 seats for NA, only
2 seats were for PDP in 2008.
I have predicted that the PDP will come as Opposing
party with more number of seats. Minimum of 20 seats in NA was what I actually
predicted. In deed I was having a decision that cannot be decided. Sometime, my
mind said that the PDP will come as Ruling party and DPT as Ruling Party
sometime. The unstable mind of mine was made stable with one thought, when the
result of NA election was declared. It wasn’t stable although result was
declared. The 15 seats were taken by DPT this time and remaining 32 seats were
taken by DPD. With that result, the new government was created. PDP, the
opposing party in first parliament session was Ruling party this time and the
DPT, the ruling party in 2008 to 2013 NA was Opposing party.
I have no comment on result of NA for 2013 only if
the present Ruling party does the duty well and fulfill their pledges. My
comment on result of NA in 2013 will emerges when elected government does
opposite to what they have said during campaigns periods.

Now, it’s time to give my heartfelt felicitation to
both the parties for making to primary round and participate primary round
successfully without any problems. To the new government, the Ruling party, PDP,

tireless, dedicate, faithful and hardship during last 5 years in your tenure
and Tashi Delek for coming as opposing party.
