NEW DELHI, March 27: Election officials on Thursday dealt Bhutan’s fledgling opposition another blow days after voters in the world’s newest democracy handed it a stunning defeat, trimming its presence in parliament to just two seats. Saying there had been a mistake in the recording of votes in the Phuentsholing constituency, the Election Commission announced on its website the Druk Phuensum Tshogpa (DPT) had now won 45 out of 47 seats in Monday’s polls.—Reuters
