THIMPHU, 3 May, 2021 (TON): Thrompon-elect of Gelephu, Tshering Norbu, won more than 50 percent of total votes cast at Jampeling demkhong on Thursday.

His win may unseat former thrompon who was nominated from the demkhong with the majority votes during dhamngoi zomdu in March.

“This was because I could include their hopes and expectation in my pledges. The support improved this time,” Tshering Norbu said.

The support for Tshering Norbu had doubled in almost all demkhongs since he first contested for the same post in 2016.

Tshering Norbu said, “Namkhaling was left behind over the years. They hope to see improvements in roads, drainage, streetlights, and sewerage system.”

He added, “Things are underway, but there is a need for a coordinated effort from the thromde to report the situation again.”

However, the residents of Gelephu said that the thrompon-elect secured a landslide win, as he contested in election repeatedly.
