Description
Young Bhutanese give their opinions on the January 9 election that will see two parties - the Bhutan Tendrel Party (BTP) and People's Democratic Party (PDP) - pitted against each other in a nation where youth unemployment stands at 29 percent, according to the World Bank. The picturesque Himalayan kingdom held elections for the first time in 2008 after political reforms established a two-chamber parliament soon after the start of the reign of the present King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, who remains hugely popular.
