Bhutan's poll today
BHUTAN: The insular kingdom of Bhutan stands poised to become the
world's newest democracy on Monday with historic polls ordered by its
revered royal family to end their reign.
The tiny Buddhist state wedged between the Himalayas of India and
China will elect members for a lower house, ending the century-old
absolute rule by the hugely popular Wangchuk dynasty.
