| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The 2013 general election to the National Assembly and National Council of Bhutan laid another milestone of development of democracy in the Himalayan State. Bhutan became democracy in 2008 when it hold the first ever elections to the National Assembly and National Council. The hundred years old absolute monarchy transforms itself into a constitutional democracy without any internal or external demand. After centuries of Shabdrung rule (1616-1907), Bhutan became a hereditary monarchy in 1907. |
