In the primary elections held on 15 September, the incumbent party PDP was knocked out and instead, the people chose an untested party DNT ( Druk Nyamrup Tshogpa) led by a Medical Practitioner Dr. Lotay Tshering that got the maximum number of votes. The second was the DPT led by Pema Gyamtso-a party that was in power in the first election and in opposition in the second election.
