Election preparations are underway for the exiled Central Tibetan Administration (CTA). Current CTA president Lobsang Sangay will retire at the end of his current term in May 2021 with potential successors yet to announce their candidacy. Chief Election Commissioner, Wangdue Tsering Pesur, said that, despite COVID-19, “we are hoping and planning that the Tibetan diaspora around the world can proceed for the general election vote to take place on time”.
