Druk Nyamrup Tshogpa (dz|འབྲུག་མཉམ་རུབ་ཚོགས་པ།; Wylie: ’brug nyam-rub tshogs-pa;),[5] [6] formerly the Social Democratic Party,[7] [8] is one of the five registered political parties in Bhutan. It was registered on 20 January 2013.[9] The DNT was Bhutan's governing party from 2018 to 2023.
Druk Nyamrup Tshogpa contested the National Assembly elections of 2013, 2018 and 2023.
See main article: 2013 Bhutanese National Assembly election. In the primary round of the 2nd National Assembly elections held in 2013, the DNT had 35,962 votes and came third place,[10] and so could not take part in the final round. However the then party president, Aum Dorji Choden, who placed first in her constituency, as well as several other DNT candidates who placed second in their own constituencies, resigned from the party to become successful candidates for the People's Democratic Party in the final round.
See main article: 2018 Bhutanese National Assembly election. In the 2018 elections, the party won 30 seats with 54.95% of the votes.
