System of Government in Bhutan

 

The Monarchy is Born

Three centuries later, Gongsar Ugyen Wangchuk, founded the monarchy. In 1907, a historic Assembly of the clergy, the official administration, and the people unanimously elected Gongsar Ugyen Wangchuck as the first hereditary king of Bhutan. He was succeeded by his son Jigme Wangchuck.

The third king Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, known as “Father of the Modern Bhutan”, initiated planned development and led the country into the global arena with memberships in the United Nation and other international organizations.

In 1972, King Jigme Wangchuk became the youngest Monarch in the world. In the short span of four decades of his rule, Bhutan has leapt from the medieval to one of the fastest developing nations of the new millennium.

Gross National Happiness

Underlying all policies of the king through the years of unprecedented development is the principle of Gross National Happiness (GNH). The approach of people’s happiness over gross national product has generated intense study, debate and interest worldwide. In Bhutan, it has always been the interest of the people first for the benevolent monarch, and GNH the ultimate aspiration.

The king Champions democracy

The king Jgme Singye Wangchuk, fourth in the lineage of the monarchy, is himself steering the kingdom towards democracy. Presently, the nation is run by a council of elected ministers and a draft constitution has been distributed to the people for endorsement.
