After the party’s struggle in the primary round of elections, the Druk Chirwang Tshogpa (DCT) president and candidates met on Thursday to tht consolidate their state-of-affairs and highlight issues related to the deregistration of the candidate if they are willing to do so, and to discuss how the candidates have utilized their funds.
“DCT will remain a political party and will be determined to bring a positive change in the country,” said DCT president Lily Wangchhuk.
