Tibetan refugees in Bauddha and Jorpati have chosen their local leader. Although they are living in Nepal as refugees, they have elected Babu Kalsang as their leader by holding local level elections.
Babu Kalsang was elected as the chief of the Tibetan refugee camps in Kathmandu Metropolitan City-6, Bauddha and Khampa camps in Jorpati.
In the election, Babu Kalsang got 577 votes and Furbu Tansi got 476 votes. In the election, 1028 votes were cast.
The government has allowed Tibetan refugees to hold internal elections for the sake of democracy and human rights.
Earlier, the government of Nepal had not allowed the election. In this regard, organizations active in the field of refugees were urging the government.
