Dhardon Sharling has been voted out as Kalon for the Department of Information and International Relations in the Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile. She had been nominated by Sikyong Dr Lobsang Sangay. Sharling said that the proceedings were a result of a democratic process which is a matter of pride for the exile administration. She secured the highest number of votes in the Chithue (Member of Parliament) polls earlier this year.
