28 MANIFESTO : 2018
PART I
1. Institutions that Guarded Democracy
The steel frame of a democratic society is its institutions. Thanks to the vision of our Monarchs, robust institutions necessary for smooth transition to democracy were already in place in 2008 when we became a democracy. In the past 10 years, the transition to democracy has been smooth and successful, and we, as Bhutanese people, are proud that we did not experience the anxiety that many other countries around the world endured to nurture a democratic culture. The successful transition has been possible mainly because the democratic institutions ful lled its constitutional duties and performed their roles honestly and independently.
We commit to serve, protect and nurture our democratic institutions to ensure a vibrant democracy.
PEOPLE’S DEMOCRATIC PARTY UNITY. STABILITY. PROSPERITY.
