Tibetan Election

January 13, 2021;

Tibet Sun has reported that Gyari Dolma is out of the race to be the next Sikyong of the Tibetan Government-in-exile. She was trailing second placed Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang by 650 votes at the time of reporting. The outstanding results are unlikely to change the outcome of the contest. Penpa Tsering is the runaway leader with over 23,000 votes. Aukatsang is almost 10,000 votes behind with 13,539. The official result of the preliminary election will be announced by the Election Commission on February 8.
